The Fall River School Committee criticized Superintendent Matthew Malone for unprofessional behavior on the job but commended his handling of the pandemic during his annual performance evaluation on Monday night.
“Moving forward, Dr. Malone must be a better leader, a better communicator and more mindful of his language, his conduct and his demeanor with the entire Fall River Public School community,” committee member Mimi Larrivee, who led the evaluation subcommittee, said as she read from the report.
The superintendent evaluation rubric comes from the state’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and gauges performance in areas including professional goals, student achievement, district improvement and adherence to standards around management, leadership and professional culture.
