D-R School Superintendent Gets High Marks
Dighton-Rehoboth Regional Schools Superintendent Bill Runey scored high marks for his annual job performance evaluation. The results were shared by School Committee Chairman Chris Andrade at the June 25 meeting.
The categories included student learning, professional practice, and district improvement. Runey received an overall rating of proficient during the evaluation period. He was rated as proficient in instructional leadership and management and operations and was rated as exemplary in community and family engagement and professional culture.
“Proficient doesn’t mean average,” Andrade said. “It means (Runey) is meeting the goals and objectives of the committee. It means you’ve gone beyond those goals and objectives.”
Runey began working for the district in July 2022. He was principal at Attleboro High School for 10 years before coming to Dighton-Rehoboth.
“I was absolutely humbled by the two proficients and the two exemplaries,” Runey told the committee.
Runey acknowledged he had made some mistakes in the past.
“I could have handled the Southcoast Collaborative request better, so I learned from that.”
He pointed to the sudden resignation of Robert Baxter, the district business administrator, in 2023, and said that resulted in a sharper focus on the budget process.
“What I told my district leadership team is that we have so many great things going forward because of the fact that we have so many great people behind what we are doing. It’s a blessing for me to serve these two towns,” Runey added.
