Summary
After an executive session, the Little Rock School District Board approved the superintendent's contract with a 5% salary increase; the transcript records the annual salary as $271,776.96. One director recorded a 'no' vote in discussion; the motion carried by voice vote.
The Little Rock School District Board voted after executive session on Aug. 14 to approve the superintendent's contract and a 5% salary increase.
Board member (mover) presented a motion "that the board approve the superintendent's contract as discussed in executive session with an updated salary of $271,776.96 annually," which the transcript records as a 5% raise. Directors discussed the motion in open session: one director said they would register a 'no' vote though they looked forward to continuing to work with the superintendent; another director said the raise reflected contractual obligations and progress under stable leadership.
The motion carried on a voice vote; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally. The board noted no action was taken during executive session itself and that the approval occurred in open session following that closed deliberation.
The administration will implement the contract changes according to standard payroll and human-resources processes.
