Mark Sullivan joined the school system in 2020.
Birmingham board members approved a three-year contract renewal and nearly $25,000 pay raise for Superintendent Mark Sullivan on Tuesday, Nov. 12.Birmingham City Schools Superintendent Mark Sullivan, who led the district through the pandemic and has been praised nationally for recent gains, can continue in his role for at least another three years, board members voted Tuesday.
“Moving forward, we are committed to making sure that our school system is absolutely the best district that it can be. We have a lot of great things on the horizon to improve our district, and we’re nowhere near where we want to be, but we’re a long way from where we used to be.” Community members on Tuesday described Sullivan as a “visible” and “hands-on” leader who has been attentive to concerns and always made an effort to check in on students and staff.
“There’s more scrutiny than what a lot of other school districts deal with in the state,” Board President Jason Meadows said after the evaluation, adding a moment later “We have a long way to go, a long way to go, but there’s a lot of hard work going on.”Birmingham schools are currently in good financial standing, leaders say, and are starting to see enrollment numbers improve after a long decline.
“There’s no question, I support Dr. Sullivan,” Billups said. “But for me when I look at the process… I think we’ve been very inefficient, I don’t think we’ve had the level of dialogue that’s necessary or looked at the data to support some of the actions to move forward.”
