Board approves multi-year contract extensions for superintendent and treasurer
Summary
The Brooklyn City School District board voted to extend Superintendent Dr. Theodore Calera’s contract through July 2031 and Treasurer Robert T. Shearhart’s contract through July 2030, citing continuity during a three-year construction program; both extension motions carried on roll call.
The Brooklyn City School District Board of Education approved multi-year contract extensions for its superintendent and treasurer on March 18, citing continuity through planned construction projects.
The board adopted a resolution extending the superintendent’s contract to run from Aug. 1, 2026, through July 31, 2031, and a separate resolution extending the treasurer’s contract from Aug. 1, 2026, through July 31, 2030. Both documents were placed on file in the treasurer’s office, according to the agenda reading.
During the meeting the superintendent thanked the board, saying he was "very thankful and humble to end my career here" and praising the district’s staff and students. Board members repeatedly emphasized the need for leadership stability during a three‑year construction timeline, arguing that changing key administrators midstream would be disruptive.
Both resolutions were moved, seconded and approved on roll call.
What happens next: copies of the contracts will be retained in the treasurer’s office as noted in the agenda; the board did not discuss any changes to the existing administrative duties at the meeting.
