Board votes not to renew superintendent Toby Melster’s contract
Summary
After discussing a proposed one-year renewal with an improvement plan, the Las Animas School District No. Re-1 board voted Feb. 24 not to renew Superintendent Toby Melster’s contract; the decision was recorded by roll-call vote.
The Las Animas School District No. Re-1 board voted Feb. 24 not to renew the contract of Superintendent Toby Melster.
Board members debated a proposal presented by the superintendent to extend the contract for one year with a documented improvement plan and quarterly monitoring. During open session a motion was made not to renew; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll-call vote, with those recorded in the transcript answering 'Aye.'
The meeting minutes note the board discussed establishing clear goals and quarterly monitoring if a renewal had been chosen. Instead, by formal motion the board declined to renew the contract. The transcript records the motion, second and roll-call votes but provides no further personnel details in open session.
What happens next: the board's vote means the district will proceed under applicable personnel rules and contract provisions related to nonrenewal and any notice requirements. The board did not record additional formal action or a replacement plan in open session during this meeting.
"I move not to renew," one board member said in introducing the motion; the motion carried on recorded votes.
