Wayland superintendent undergoing 2nd evaluation

Supt. Tim Reeves

The Wayland Board of Education Monday night went into closed session after a work session to evaluate a second time the job performance of Superintendent Tim Reeves.

Reeves, who began duties here July 1, 2022, had a terrific evaluation a year ago in which he had his annual salary increased from $151,000 to $157,040, with another provision for more if he earns a “highly effective” rating this year. He also earned a 3 percent annuity, which Board Trustee Jeff Koon calculated brings his total package to $163,251. His contract also was extended to three years.

The superintendent came to Wayland from the Shelby district, where he had been school chief for several years. His roots in the education field come from the Hamilton district in Allegan County.

In other business at the work session Monday, the board:

  • Listened to a report from Food Service Director Scott Larson. “It’s just a quick snapshot of what we’ve been doing,” he said. He announced that the number of breakfasts being served district wide has been increased by 550 and lunches has bumped up by 294 over last year. He added that the the daily average of revenue from a la carte orders has been estimated at between $800 to $1,000.
  • Held a lengthy discussion about guidelines for class field trips. Supt. Tim Reeves noted two trips per academic year were permitted for Dorr, Pine Street, Steeby and Baker elementary schools in the past, but they were reduced because of budget concerns and a lack of available bus drivers Reeves said the task now is to restore the trips and make them affordable.
