The Gresham-Barlow School Board approved employment contracts for the deputy superintendent and the assistant superintendent at its June 18 regular meeting.

District Interim Superintendent John Cook presented the contracts for consideration and explained that employment contracts for those positions are negotiated annually between the superintendent and the individual employees and are separate from collective bargaining agreements. Board member Holly Regalman moved to approve the leadership contracts as presented; Director Chris Howitt seconded. The motion passed with members voting aye and no recorded dissent.

Board members noted the packets contained the contracts and that the documents had been delayed because of Cook's current interim role. No amendments to the contracts were proposed during the meeting. The board asked staff to keep members updated on implementation as the employees transition into the roles.

The contracts take effect as described in the documents presented at the meeting; the board did not modify salary or term details on the floor and took no additional personnel actions related to these contracts.
