The Newman-Crows Zoning Unified School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve multiple personnel items during its Aug. 11 meeting, including a certificated employment contract for a new elementary principal, an internship permit and a leave request.
The board approved the principal contract for Kavita Diwali, who will serve as principal at Hurd Barrington Elementary commencing July 1, 2025. The contract places Diwali on step 2 of the salary schedule at $124,791; board members stated all other terms and conditions of employment will remain in effect. The motion carried on a roll-call vote recorded as 5–0.
