Summary

The board moved into an executive session under A.R.S. §38-431.03 to renegotiate the Superintendent/Principal contract on June 30 and, upon return to open session, approved the contract; the minutes do not disclose contract terms.

The Santa Cruz Elementary School District Governing Board voted June 30 to move into an executive session under A.R.S. §38-431.03 to renegotiate the Superintendent/Principal contract, then returned to open session and approved the contract.

Dr. Dean Fish moved and Dr. Carrie Pottinger seconded the motion to convene to executive session in the library for contract renegotiation; the business manager was invited to take minutes of the executive session. The motion was recorded as passing with aye votes from Board President Robert Noon, Clerk Debbie Gonzales (by phone), Dr. Pottinger and Dr. Fish; Mr. Ron Fish was absent.

After returning to regular session the board considered the Superintendent/Principal contract. Dr. Carrie Pottinger moved to approve the contract and Mrs. Debbie Gonzales seconded; the motion was recorded as approved. The public minutes do not include the contract’s monetary terms, duration, or other negotiated provisions.

Because the meeting relied on the statutory executive-session exception for personnel negotiation, the district did not disclose negotiation details in the public minutes. The board provided no additional public timeline for implementing or publishing the contract terms.
