Window Rock Unified Board approves six-month contract for Interim Superintendent William Horsley
Summary
The Window Rock Unified School District Governing Board voted unanimously Jan. 13 to approve a six-month contract for Interim Superintendent William Horsley, which includes the principal stipend and discontinues the principal supervisor stipend. The decision followed executive-session discussion of personnel and legal advice under Arizona law.
The Governing Board of Window Rock Unified School District approved a six-month contract for Interim Superintendent William Horsley at its Jan. 13 regular meeting.
The contract "includes the principal stipend," and the board recorded that this action will result in discontinuing the principal supervisor stipend previously funded, according to the minutes. The motion to approve the contract was made by Dr. Jacquelyne Wauneka and seconded by Stephanie Calabaza; the minutes record the motion as carried with all members voting in favor.
Board members had convened in executive session earlier under Arizona Revised Statutes cited in the agenda (A.R.S. 38-431.03(A)(1) for personnel and (A)(3) for legal advice) to discuss the interim superintendent’s employment and to receive legal counsel before returning to open session and taking the formal vote.
The minutes do not specify additional contractual terms beyond the six-month duration and stipend change. The board noted the administrative effect that the principal supervisor stipend will end as a result of this approval.
The board adjourned at 8:31 p.m.; its next regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2026.
