Long Beach Unified board approves three‑year contract for new superintendent
Summary
The Long Beach Unified School District board voted 5–0 to approve a three‑year contract for the district’s new superintendent, effective July 1, 2026, with compensation discussed in the meeting at $398,000 per year.
The Long Beach Unified School District board voted unanimously to approve a three‑year contract for its incoming superintendent, beginning July 1, 2026, and referenced annual compensation of $398,000 during the meeting.
Board members moved, seconded and recorded a 5–0 vote in favor of the appointment. The motion and roll call were announced on the record during the meeting.
Trustees and community leaders praised the incoming leader’s long service in the district. Speakers highlighted roughly 32 years of experience in Long Beach schools, roles that spanned classroom and administrative work, leadership through the COVID era and a focus on partnerships and equity for students who historically have been underserved.
One board member noted the superintendent’s experience in human resources and community engagement, saying the candidate ‘‘has a clear vision’’ for improving student outcomes and building partnerships across the city. Community speakers expressed confidence the superintendent would help steady district operations and support students and families.
The meeting did not include a detailed, line‑by‑line readout of the contract in public comment, and the board did not discuss additional specific performance targets on the record. The board approved the contract by vote; next procedural steps typically include final paperwork with district HR and staff oversight of implementation.
Action recorded in the meeting: approval of the superintendent contract (three years, effective July 1, 2026).
