The Oakridge School Board decided Monday night it would uphold the findings of an investigation into Superintendent Reta Doland's job performance, saying she should continue in her job, after calls for her removal from parents and teachers.
Board members voiced support of the third-party investigator's conclusion that Doland should remain the district's leader, and called on the community to move forward. However, parents are planning next moves after feeling their concerns have gone unaddressed.
Later in the meeting, the board gave its annual summary evaluation of Doland, which was positive, and renewed her contract
.
"It is the conclusion of the board that although there was substantiation with the complaint as far as the weaknesses in communication — no further deficiencies were found," Board Chair John Weddle read from a statement. "We have asked superintendent Doland to report progress to us. Considering the scope of the changes going on within this district, and all listed together, not including a worldwide pandemic, the job alone is daunting."
