Correction: Superintendent Jesus Chavez's contract will not be discussed at the Feb. 28 board meeting. It will be a "summative evaluation" of Chavez and the meeting of district goals.

The Round Rock ISD board of trustees will discuss an evaluation of Superintendent Jesus Chavez's at a Feb. 28 special called meeting.

The superintendent's future with the school district has been in the spotlight since a Dec. 15 special called board meeting in which there were rumors that two board members were not satisfied with Chavez's performance.

The four-hour long meeting resulted in Chavez receiving $5,608 annuity. The maximum annuity amount is $10,000 and is based on performance goals.

Chavez has been under recent scrutiny for the implementation and subsequent pulling of standards-based grading at Round Rock High School and Ridgeview Middle School in fall 2012.

Most recently, parents of children affected by high school boundary changes have voiced opposition to the changes at several meetings leading up to the final decision by the board.

The evaluation, which is planned for discussion in closed session, has community members such as Tom Ramsey of La Placita Snappy Snacks working to gather support for Chavez

Ramsey is part of the grassroots effort called Save Our Superintendent. The initiative was born as a result of the Dec. 15 meeting after a group of parents felt it was necessary to spread word of their support for Chavez.

Ramsey said there are about 150 active SOS members who have sent out about 1,000 emails out to parents and community members explaining the situation and why they support Chavez.

"Whether they're supportive or not supportive, it's important that they know what's going on," Ramsey said. "It's quite concerning what a man of this caliber is going through, and it's up to us to see what's behind the hidden agenda."

Ramsey said several SOS members gathered in the Sam's Club parking lot in La Frontera on Feb. 25 to hand out about 2,000 fliers and raise awareness of Tuesday's meeting.

"Ninety percent of our residents that were there told us that they were not aware of what's going on. We've got to get it out to the parents because they're the ones who are really going to be affected by this," he said.

In March 2011, trustees extended Chavez's contract through June 30, 2014. Since 2010, he has received a yearly salary of $252,875 and health benefits.

He did not receive a raise in 2011 due to budget cuts in the school district.

Chavez has been at the helm of the district for six years, during which he was named Superintendent of the Year in Region XIII in 2010 and 2011.

The called board meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Round Rock ISD administration building, 1311 Round Rock Ave.
