YOUNGSTOWN — The city school superintendent has received a “satisfactory” job performance rating from the city school board.

Anthony Catale, chairman of the board’s personnel and public relations committee, announced at Tuesday’s school board meeting that Wendy Webb scored an overall grade of 5 on a scale of 1 to 9 in her evaluation.

“That’s considered satisfactory,” he said, declining to elaborate on what problem areas board members pinpointed in the evaluation that resulted in that score.

Webb’s last evaluation in November 2007 resulted in a higher, “commendable” finding by the board, an indication the board was pleased with her performance.

Treasurer William Johnson also was evaluated.
