Committee reviews proposed hires, investment move and next steps on teacher negotiations
Summary
Superintendent Sardina outlined multiple positions the district plans to post for next year, said district funds were shifted into a Cedar fund earning higher interest, and requested two Finance Committee members meet to advance teacher contract negotiations.
The Finance Committee on April 13 reviewed proposed staffing postings for the 2026-27 school year, an update on district investments, and the scheduling for teacher contract negotiations.
Superintendent Jerry Sardina listed positions the district intends to post: a 512 School Success position, a North Principal, a 4/5 Assistant Principal/Curriculum Coordinator, a 4/5 Special Education position, and a secondary math teacher. He said additional postings could follow depending on internal staff shifts. Sardina also told the committee district funds were moved into a Cedar fund and are earning higher interest than previous holdings.
On teacher negotiations, Sardina asked that two Finance Committee members meet with him to review the negotiations; he expressed the view the contract could be settled in one meeting and then sent to the full board for approval. The committee did not record a date for that session during the meeting.
The committee did not take final action on hiring or contract approval; staff will proceed with postings and coordinate with committee members to schedule negotiation meetings, after which any settlement would be forwarded to the full board for formal approval.
