The Prosser School District Board approved a contract for the district’s special services director at the July meeting while asking staff to correct a cross-reference to the severance section.

A board member raised a question about a sentence that referenced contract section 11 for severance compensation. Staff acknowledged the cross-reference was incorrect and said the correct reference was section 13. The contract was approved with the edit and staff said they would adjust the numbering and re-execute the contract.

A board member moved to approve the contract with the change; another board member seconded, and the motion passed by voice vote.

Ending: The board approved the contract contingent on updating the cross-reference to the severance provision and asked staff to return a corrected, signed document to the district records.
