Board approves amendment to "Terry's contract" described as adding a "third gear"

The Sweet Home SD 55 board approved an amendment to "Terry's contract" described in the meeting transcript as "add the third gear to Terry's contract."

Unidentified Speaker 2 moved to add what was transcribed as "the third gear" to Terry's contract. Unidentified Speaker 1 summarized the motion (the transcript reads, "Motion by bills and put that"). During the vote Paul Baker is recorded saying "aye," several additional affirmative responses are recorded, and the chair stated "The nay or none, passes unanimously," indicating the motion carried without recorded opposition.

The transcript records the amendment text verbatim but does not explain what "third gear" refers to (for example, a compensation tier, a benefit, a schedule change, or an administrative clause). The meeting record contains no written contract language, dollar figures, or an explanation of operational impact.

Because the transcript does not tie the amendment to a written exhibit, contract provision, or budgetary amount, the record does not indicate whether the change requires further board action, administrative implementation steps, or public reporting beyond the vote recorded in the meeting.

The board then proceeded to schedule further administrative business and an executive session on a separate matter.
