Poudre School District board approves eighth addendum to superintendent's contract, 5-1

The Poudre School District R-1 Board approved an eighth addendum to Superintendent Brian Kingsley's contract at its June 16 special meeting, with a 5-1 vote.

Directors spent several minutes in discussion before the vote, offering broad praise for Kingsley's tenure and pointing to district metrics presented as part of his evaluation. A director noted the district's reported graduation rate of 89% for the Class of 2025 and that 86% of students self-reported a positive school connection on the Student Connection Survey. Board members said those measures informed their support for the contract action.

Several directors described the superintendent's willingness to solicit additional evaluations and board feedback as a distinguishing feature of his employment agreement compared with peers in other Colorado districts. At least one director asked that annual increases for the superintendent be aligned with employee-group increases in future budgeting.

Following discussion, the board voted to approve the addendum; the meeting minutes record the motion passing 5-1. Director Koranda Ziegler cast the lone recorded "no" vote. The motion authorized the board president to sign the addendum and instructed the board secretary to attest the signature.

The board took the action as part of its consent and action-item sequence; no additional details about salary terms or effective dates were provided in the discussion beyond what was included in the addendum materials shared with the board.

What's next: The board moved on to informational reports and the Comprehensive Planning Committee update. The superintendent's personnel file and the signed addendum will be handled through normal board-executive processes.
