The Sudbury School Committee authorized Chair Karyn Jones to execute an employment agreement with Annette Doyle as Interim Superintendent, pending successful contract negotiations through counsel.
Chair Karyn Jones said the committee returned from executive session at 9:02 a.m. and confirmed that members discussed the Interim Superintendent contract. Vice Chair Jessica McCready moved to authorize the chair to sign the agreement and Betsy Sues seconded; the motion carried in a roll call vote of 4–0 (Julie Durgin‑Sicree, Betsy Sues, Jessica McCready and Karyn Jones voting aye).
The committee’s minutes record that Chair Jones and Member Julie Durgin‑Sicree will prepare a communication to the community contingent on successful contract negotiations with counsel. The record does not include the terms of the agreement or the timing for when negotiations are expected to conclude.
The motion to enter executive session, which preceded the authorization, cited Massachusetts General Laws chapter 30A §21(a) and specified two purposes: Purpose (2), to discuss strategy in preparation for negotiations with non‑union personnel (the Interim Superintendent), and Purpose (7), to review and approve executive session minutes from April 28, 2026 and May 1, 2026. Vice Chair Jessica McCready moved that motion; Betsy Sues seconded, and the committee voted 4–0 to convene in executive session.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:04 a.m. after the committee returned to open session. The minutes note that no documents were reviewed during the meeting.
The minutes do not provide specific contract terms, compensation figures, or a timetable for when the employment agreement will become effective; those details remain pending counsel negotiations and are not specified in the record.
