Silver Consolidated Board of Education unanimously approves superintendent contract through 2029
Summary
The Silver Consolidated Board of Education on June 25 approved an extension of Superintendent Mr. Hawkins’ contract through 2029, including a 1% salary increase authorized by the state and removal of a prior six-month residency requirement.
The Silver Consolidated Board of Education unanimously approved an employment contract for Superintendent Mr. Hawkins on June 25, extending his agreement through 2029 and incorporating a 1% salary adjustment allowed by the state Public Education Department (PED).
Board members moved the item into open session rather than an executive session and voted after brief clarifying remarks; Dr. Diaz moved the approval and Mr. McMillan seconded. Patrick conducted a roll call in which Mrs. Montenegro, Dr. Diaz, the Chair, Mr. McMillan and Mrs. Clement each voted yes.
The board indicated the new agreement is functionally a rolling three-year contract. The chair confirmed that the draft is largely identical to prior years with two notable differences: the extension of the term through 2029 and the removal of an earlier stipulation that the superintendent establish residence in the district within six months.
Dr. Diaz praised Mr. Hawkins’s leadership and retention value, saying, “every meeting we go to... everybody would say we have the best superintendent in the state, if not the nation,” and emphasized the board’s intent to do what is needed to keep him. Mr. Hawkins briefly replied, “Yes, sir,” during the discussion.
The board concluded the special meeting immediately after the vote and moved to adjourn. No amendments to the contract were recorded during the session; additional details beyond those discussed in the board packet were not specified in the public record.
Next steps: the approved contract will stand as adopted by the board; the transcript records no further procedural actions or implementation dates specified during the meeting.
