State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley got a positive job review Wednesday from the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Thomas Roque, a BESE member who lives in Alexandria, made the announcement after the board held a closed-door session to review Brumley's job performance.
Details of the evaluation were not immediately available.
BESE generally defers to the superintendent because it is a personnel matter.
The superintendent is paid $285,000 per year and is entitled to a 3% pay raise -- $8,550 -- upon getting a positive job review.
Brumley said he told BESE President Sandy Holloway last weekend that he would forego the raise even if he got positive marks from the 11-member board.
