Milwaukee board approves employment agreement for Dr. Brenda Casilias as superintendent
Summary
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors approved an employment agreement naming Dr. Brenda Casilias superintendent and an addendum for interim superintendent Mr. Galvan, voting 8-0 at a March 4 special meeting; the item was considered in closed session under Wis. Stat. §19.85.
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors voted unanimously Tuesday to approve an employment agreement with Dr. Brenda Casilias for the position of superintendent of schools and an accompanying addendum concerning interim superintendent Mr. Galvan.
Director Gokul Gandhi moved approval of the employment agreement and the addendum; Director O'Halloran seconded. The board approved the motion by roll call with eight ayes and no recorded noes or abstentions.
The employment agreement was listed on the special-meeting agenda and was considered in closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85 before the board returned to open session to vote. The transcript includes the board president’s public remarks welcoming Casilias but does not read the employment contract’s full terms into the public record during the meeting.
After the vote, President Marva Herndon said the board is “proud to welcome Dr. Brenda Casilias as our new superintendent of schools,” and thanked the district’s search partner and staff who participated in the process. The board also publicly thanked interim superintendent Mr. Galvan for his service during the search and transition.
The transcript does not state an effective start date, salary, or other contract terms for the employment agreement; those details may be in the agreement attachments posted with the district’s meeting materials.
