Board approves administrators contract; later votes to enter executive session on superintendent evaluation

The board voted to approve the contract between Regional School District 8 and the Ram Administrators Association for the 2026–2029 term. Trustee Joe Puletti made the motion and Amy Romanchuk seconded; the motion passed without recorded opposition. Later in the meeting, the board voted to enter executive session “for the purpose of discussing superintendent's evaluation” and to invite Superintendent Colin McNamara into that session. Trustee Gabe Marks moved and Mike Gollier seconded the motion; the board voted in favor and entered executive session. Why it matters: contract ratification establishes terms for the district’s administrative staff for the indicated years and the executive session begins a formal personnel-evaluation process for the superintendent that the board conducted in closed session. Actions and formal outcomes: the administrators contract motion was approved; the vote to enter executive session also passed. No contract terms (salaries or specific provisions) were read into the public record during the meeting packet discussion; the vote recorded only the motion, mover and seconder and that the motion passed. Ending: The board moved into executive session following the roll call vote and the public meeting adjourned to closed session for the superintendent evaluation.
