Board approves amendment agreements for cabinet and ratifies superintendent's ninth amendment
Summary
Trustees approved amendment agreements extending terms and adjusting compensation for several non-represented executives and ratified the superintendent's ninth amendment, including a 2% ongoing increase for 2024-25, a one-time $1,000 payment, and contingent additional increases for 2025-26 tied to enrollment and budget factors; the superintendent's base salary at step 9 was stated as $454,413 in the agreement summary.
The Elk Grove Unified School District board unanimously approved a package of amendment agreements for non-represented executive staff and ratified the superintendent's ninth amendment to his employment agreement.
Chief Human Resources Officer C. Buckmaster provided the required verbal summary under California Government Code 54953.3(c), outlining material terms for multiple positions (deputy superintendents, associate superintendent, assistant superintendents, executive directors, chief financial officer, chief human resources officer, chief technology officer). The agreements extend terms to June 30, 2028; they include a 2% ongoing increase effective July 1, 2024 and a one-time off-schedule payment of $1,000 to offset health and welfare costs.
For 2025-26 the agreements specify contingency language that could convert up to an additional 2% in one-time offsets to ongoing increases if specified revenue and expenditure conditions are met. The transcript lists several contingency triggers, including an enrollment increase of at least 350 students, maintaining a district unduplicated pupil count (UPC) threshold (the transcript text for the UPC percentage was garbled and not specified), an average daily attendance (ADA) benchmark near 94% and targeted reductions in non-public agency contract costs and other operating cost savings.
The superintendent's ninth amendment contains parallel terms and contingency language; the summary given at the meeting stated the superintendent would continue on step 9 with a base salary of $454,413. After the public comment period produced no speakers, the board moved to approve the non-represented amendments and the superintendent's ninth amendment. Motions were moved and seconded and carried unanimously.
District staff said copies of the amendment agreements and the superintendent's ninth amendment are available upon request.
