Sutherland board approves two principals and three teacher contracts
Summary
The Sutherland Public Schools board approved 2025–26 principal contracts for Brian McC. and Jason Gunderson and accepted three teacher contracts (Katie Stevenson, Jane D., Olivia Freeze) in roll‑call votes during the regular meeting.
The Sutherland Public Schools board voted to approve multiple personnel contracts during its regular meeting.
Principal contracts: The board approved the 2025–26 principal contract for Brian McC. and later approved the 2025–26 principal contract for Jason Gunderson. Trustees thanked outgoing and incoming principals; votes carried on roll call.
Teacher contracts: The board approved teacher contracts for Katie Stevenson, Jane D., and Olivia Freeze for 2025–26. One board member recorded an abstention on a teacher contract vote; the remainder passed by roll call. Administrators said the district received strong applicant pools and praised the quality of the newly hired teachers.
Votes and procedure: Each personnel item was moved, seconded and carried by roll call. The board indicated the contract process will be simplified going forward by using a renewal form rather than requiring new signed contracts each year, per adjustments prepared with legal counsel.
What’s next: Contracts will be finalized with staff; administrators said the revised renewal process should streamline annual rehiring.
