Dixon board approves contract for Dr. Melydi Huyett as next superintendent through 2029
Summary
The Dixon Board of Education unanimously approved the employment contract for Dr. Melydi Huyett as superintendent, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. The motion passed 7-0 during the Dec. 17 meeting.
The Board of Education District No. 170 unanimously approved the employment contract for Dr. Melydi Huyett to serve as superintendent of Dixon Public Schools from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029.
The motion to approve the contract was made by Melissa Gates and seconded by Brandon Rogers and passed on a roll call vote with all seven trustees voting yea (Gates, LeBlanc-Parks, Rogers, Schaefer, Wadsworth, Fritts, Wegner). The minutes state Dr. Melydi Huyett was presented as the next superintendent; specific contract terms beyond the effective dates were not detailed in the meeting minutes.
Board President Linda Wegner opened the meeting and led the board through the action items; Chief School Business Official Marc Campbell presented financial information during the meeting but did not provide additional contractual details about the superintendent hire in the minutes. The board’s approval formalizes the district’s leadership transition and sets a timeline for implementation beginning with the 2026–27 school year.
The board did not record public comment opposing the hire during the meeting. Next procedural steps in the minutes include the board’s return to regular business and a February meeting slated for a vote on a deficit reduction plan recommended by the superintendent in January.
