“We have gone over his yearly performance,” Board President Alan Mudd said, “and he’s done an outstanding job.

“He works hard and has made every effort to make improvements that we feel like need to be made.”

Mudd said board members voiced no dissatisfaction with Mitchell’s work during his first two years as the schools’ chief administrator.

“That’s not to say that we are where we want to be,” Mudd said. “It’s a work in progress ... an effort to make improvements in areas where they need to be improved.”

It is no wonder that JC schools are wanting more money all the time. With a salary like that. I don't believe anyone on any school board is worth that. Next time you need money try cutting some of the high salaries.

$200,000 a year, plus benefits?!?!?!? Probably gets a car, gasoline, etc. too.

What kind of public servant needs $200,000 a year salary, especially in this little town. This ain't Kansas City or St. Louis, you know.
