Board approves superintendent contract extension, credential waivers and capital outlay reserve
Summary
The board voted unanimously to extend the superintendent's contract to June 30, 2028, add a PARS retirement incentive, approve credential waivers and teacher authorizations, and adopt Resolution No. 18 to commit funds for a capital outlay reserve for future school sites in Tasco/Tcow Valley and Eastville.
The Corona-Norco Unified School District board approved multiple personnel and budget-related actions in a single consent and action block.
Gonzalves read the oral summary required under Government Code 54953(c)(3) when the board discussed amendments to the superintendent’s employment agreement. The board approved two amendments by a 5-0 vote: a one-year extension of the superintendent’s contract, moving the expiration date to June 30, 2028; and a supplementary PARS retirement incentive intended to induce the superintendent to remain through retirement (entitlement contingent on remaining employed until retirement and subject to the program described in the agreement).
In Human Resources the board approved two credential waivers for teachers (one elementary DLI Spanish and one secondary language-arts DLI Spanish) and local authorizations allowing teachers to instruct outside their credential area where they hold the requisite upper-division coursework (examples included physics at Centennial High and a middle-school social-science authorization). Each item passed 5-0.
On the consent agenda the board highlighted and approved Resolution No. 18 (item 16v), which establishes a committed fund balance for a capital outlay reserve to provide annual allocations for future school sites in Tasco/Tcow Valley and Eastville, a step board members described as the first formal funding mechanism toward additional schools in growing neighborhoods.
