Board approves 3% superintendent performance pay; superintendent declines award
Summary
The Governing Board voted to award up to 3% performance-based pay to the superintendent under ARS section 15-30; the superintendent publicly declined to accept the additional compensation.
The Cave Creek Unified School District Governing Board on June 10 approved a 3% performance-based pay award for the superintendent under authority cited in the meeting as ARS section 15-30.
During the meeting a board member moved that the district grant the superintendent a 3% performance pay award based on the superintendent’s evaluation and the motion was adopted by voice vote.
After the board vote the superintendent addressed the board and thanked staff. The superintendent said the award reflected “the work of the entire CCUSD staff” and, given other difficult budget decisions affecting staff and school consolidations, respectfully declined to accept the additional compensation.
The transcript records the board’s motion and voice vote and the superintendent’s public declination but does not show a roll-call tally of yes/no votes or identify the member who moved the motion by name in the spoken record. The board cited statutory authority during the discussion; the meeting transcript references “ARS section 15 dash 30.”
The board’s action grants the district authority to provide performance-based pay in accordance with state law; the superintendent’s decision to decline the payment means the district will not disburse the additional compensation to the superintendent unless the superintendent later changes that decision and the board takes any necessary administrative steps to reissue the award.
