3 weeks ago Share Superintendent Brennan Asplen has been on the job for nearly a year. Now board members will evaluate his effectiveness.
No one in the Sarasota County School District is above a report card, not even the superintendent.
But just how that report card will be determined is still up for debate.
Brennan Asplen began working for the district in August 2020, and now school board members will evaluate the job he’s done to determine where improvements can be made and whether he deserves performance-based bonuses.
Most recently, the board evaluated then-Superintendent Todd Bowden on 11 criteria including leadership and culture, policy and governance, communications and community relations, curriculum and planning development, and values and ethics of leadership.
Sarasota beefs up school administrative staffing
The Sarasota County School Board approved a reorganization of the district’s administrative leadership earlier this week, with the bulk of the changes taking place in the district’s Student Services and Exceptional Student Education departments.
Superintendent Brennan Asplen requested the changes, which district officials said will lead to an annual cost savings of $8,958 from the general fund. He is splitting the existing Pupil Support Services Department into two departments, one focused on students with disabilities and the other on health and wellness.
The net change is eight new administrative positions, largely focused on compliance work, staff training, curriculum development and mental health support, Chief Financial Officer Mitsi Corcoran said on Thursday.
