Board approves superintendent contract extension after debate over comparables
Summary
The board voted to extend the superintendent’s employment agreement (including a 4.5% increase aligned with certificated staff). One board member asked to delay for salary comparables; the motion passed by a 4–1 margin.
The Yucaipa‑Calimesa Joint Unified School District board on June 11 approved an employment agreement extension for the superintendent that applies a 4.5% salary increase consistent with the district’s certificated raises.
Board member Bob Miller urged the board to delay action until comparables from similar districts could be presented, saying transparency requires data showing how management compensation compares with peer districts. "If we're going to extend, I'm requesting that we hold this until July so we have comparables in front of us," he said.
President Snellings and other board members responded that the contracts had already been negotiated and that the 4.5% increase was an annual adjustment tied to the district’s negotiated increases. After discussion, the board approved the superintendent’s extension; the meeting record summarized the outcome as four votes in favor and one opposed or withheld.
The board also approved multiple assistant‑superintendent employment agreements and several administrative contract items during the same section of the agenda; most passed by voice vote, with one human‑resources employment contract showing an abstention by a board member on the record.
The board did not reverse the vote at the meeting; members asked that future contract decisions include comparable benchmarking information for public review.
