Contract amendment for former superintendent: The board approved the third amendment to the contract for former Superintendent Kenneth C.

The motion to approve (moved Gonzalez Hoy; second Reckler) passed by roll-call vote with all trustees voting yes in the transcript.
What’s next: The superintendent and staff will proceed with the personnel assignments and administrative transitions described in the report-out and implement the contract amendment language for the former superintendent; ceremonial resolutions will be distributed as directed in each resolution.
