Superintendent Terry Grier's contract with the San Diego Unified School District calls for him to receive up to $10,500 in annual performance bonuses if he meets three goals set by the school board.
But months after Grier was hired, trustees have yet to agree on what goals the superintendent and the district should meet.
The board went through goal-setting exercises in November before Grier was hired; it undertook similar exercises before and after hiring Grier's predecessor, Carl Cohn.
On Monday, the school board talked about setting goals for two hours without reaching a consensus. Grier is pushing the board to lay down specific goals that can be used to evaluate the district's progress and by extension, his performance.
Throughout the meeting, Grier relentlessly nudged trustees to develop a list of overarching goals for elementary, middle and high schools.
