Board extends Superintendent Maloney’s contract, approves IPD raise and four furlough days

The Evergreen School District (Clark) Board of Directors unanimously approved a contract addendum for Superintendent Dr. Maloney at a June 25 special meeting that applies the district’s IPD increase, adds four furlough days for the superintendent and extends the contract to June 30, 2029.

The chair summarized the addendum, saying it increases Dr. Maloney’s salary by the year’s IPD and expresses that change in the addendum as a dollar figure. The chair also said the addendum includes four furlough days, which reduce next year’s salary by roughly $5,000. The chair noted a proposed change to the district’s cell-phone approach — adding a district‑provided phone provision rather than a stipend.

A board member asked whether the IPD had been misstated as 2.9 percent; the chair clarified that the IPD is 2.6 percent, the same figure referenced earlier in the meeting. The chair attempted to state the fixed salary figure in dollars, but the spoken amount in the transcript is garbled and unclear; the transcript does not provide a reliable dollar total.

Director Bocanegra moved to approve the superintendent contract addendum and Director Grunewald seconded. Several board members offered congratulatory remarks to Dr. Maloney, noting improvements in teaching and learning, progress on equity measures, the five-year teachers' union agreement negotiated during Maloney’s tenure, and work on special education and multi-tiered systems of support.

The chair called the vote and stated the motion carried unanimously.

The board adjourned; its next regular meeting is July 14.
