Board approves administrator labor agreement and hires superintendent search firm; consent calendar and closed‑session personnel actions reported
Summary
The board adopted a labor agreement with United Administrators of San Francisco, approved a contract with Leadership & Associates for the superintendent search (including fee and expense provisions discussed), passed the consent calendar with noted corrections and severed items, and reported closed‑session personnel actions including intent to dismiss and settlement authority.
At its Oct. 11 meeting the Board of Education approved several formal actions recorded on the public agenda.
United Administrators agreement: The board held a public hearing and adopted an agreement between SFUSD and the United Administrators of San Francisco (UASF), including related public‑disclosure documents and an accelerated salary increase applied to salary schedules for certain certificated and classified management employees. Carmelo Scarlato, Chief of Labor Relations, presented the item; Richard Maggi, executive director of UASF, spoke in favor. A roll‑call vote recorded seven ayes and the measure passed.
Superintendent search firm contract: The board approved a resolution to contract with Leadership & Associates for the superintendent search. Chief General Counsel Danielle Hauck summarized terms discussed during the meeting: a consulting fee reference (stated in the transcript as '62.5' in consulting fees), an expense reimbursement provision not to exceed $5,000 for consultant travel, and a proposed cap of $10,000 for candidate expenses (to be preapproved by the board). The administration said it had proposed contract provisions including a two‑year guarantee and a five‑year non‑solicit clause; those terms remained part of ongoing negotiations for the contract. The board voted by roll call with seven ayes.
Consent calendar and severed items: The board reviewed corrections to agenda items (service‑date corrections, funding code corrections and a revised summary description for a professional development resolution), severed items including K29 (and related retroactive items), and approved the consent calendar by roll call; the transcript shows one abstention on a listed item due to a potential conflict of interest.
Closed session outcomes: After recessing into closed session, the board reported by roll call (seven ayes) that it had approved an intent to dismiss one teacher, the suspension without pay of one teacher, authorized payment up to stipulated amounts in AA v. SFUSD and MK v. SFUSD, and directed general counsel regarding one anticipated litigation matter.
