Board appoints superintendent and unanimously approves three-year contract

The Stanwood-Camano School District Board of Directors voted unanimously on June 3 to appoint the district superintendent and to approve a three‑year employment contract.

The board pulled item four from the consent agenda for separate consideration and then voted to appoint the superintendent with a motion recorded in the meeting as, "I move to appoint the superintendent of the SC school district." Director King moved the appointment; the motion was seconded and the verbal roll call returned unanimous "I" votes.

The board then moved to approve the superintendent contract as presented. The motion to approve the contract was seconded during the meeting and likewise passed unanimously. The meeting transcript records the board's action as "That passes unanimously," and the chair offered congratulations following the vote.

The votes took place as part of standard consent‑agenda procedures after public notice that citizens could speak to consent items prior to the vote; no public comments were recorded on the item in the meeting.

The board did not read the full contract terms aloud at the meeting. The meeting record identifies the actions taken (appointment and contract approval) but does not specify the contract salary, effective date beyond the approval, or other compensation terms in the public remarks; those specifics were not provided in the discussion and are listed in the consent packet referenced by the board.

Next steps: the board moved on to other agenda items after the contract approval; no additional personnel actions tied to the contract were reported at the meeting.
