The Corona-Norco Unified School District board voted unanimously to approve an employment agreement with Dahlia Guatemala to serve as superintendent, with terms presented in open session as required by the Brown Act.
Board President Nicola read an oral summary of the proposed contract before the vote, citing an effective date of July 2, 2025, through June 20, 2028, an initial annual salary of $365,000, eligibility for a 5% increase in the second and third years subject to satisfactory evaluations, standard district insurance and benefits, an auto allowance of $500 per month and paid life insurance in the face amount of $250,000.
