Board approves administrative restructure and extends superintendent's contract through 2028
Summary
The Windsor Locks Board approved a revised administrative structure effective July 1, 2025, and, after executive session, unanimously approved the superintendent's contract extension through June 30, 2028.
The Windsor Locks Board of Education voted June 4 to approve a revised administrative structure, including revised job descriptions, and later approved an extension of Superintendent Shawn Parkhurst's contract through June 30, 2028 following an executive session on evaluation matters.
Superintendent Parkhurst presented the administrative restructuring as a realignment to better meet the district's vision that all students meet or exceed grade-level standards. The Board discussed the proposal at length and voted to approve the structure and tied job-description changes effective July 1, 2025 (motion moved by A. Osorio; seconded by L. Cutler; passed unanimously).
The Board then entered executive session under Connecticut General Statutes §1-225(a) to discuss goals and the superintendent's evaluation and board self-evaluation. The executive session was limited to Board members, the superintendent and others requested. After returning to open session, the Board moved (G. Guyette), seconded (L. Cutler) and unanimously approved the superintendent's contract as outlined through June 30, 2028.
Board members characterized the decisions as administrative and evaluative: the structural vote implements the district's organizational changes, and the contract approval followed the statutory executive-session process for personnel evaluation.
