Glendale board approves amendment to superintendent’s contract after executive session
Summary
After retiring into executive session under ARS 38‑431.03, the Glendale Elementary School District Governing Board reconvened and unanimously approved an amendment to Superintendent Cynthia Segata Jones’s contract to correct the annuity‑term description without increasing total compensation.
The Glendale Elementary School District Governing Board voted unanimously on July 9 to approve an amendment to Superintendent Cynthia Segata Jones’s employment contract that corrects an error in the annuity‑term description and does not increase total compensation.
Miss Bartels moved to approve the amendment “to correct an error in the description of the annuity term of the original agreement and not to increase total compensation,” and the motion carried after a recorded roll call in which Mister Jaramillo, Miss Wilson, Miss Bartels, Miss Pimentel and Chair Martinez all voted aye.
Earlier in the meeting the board voted to retire into executive session “pursuant to ARS 38‑431.03(A)(1),(3),(4)” to discuss the superintendent’s contract and to consult with counsel about related legal issues. The transcript records the motion to enter executive session, the board’s unanimous vote to do so, and the later unanimous vote to reconvene to public session; no substantive details of the closed session were disclosed in public remarks.
Board President Martinez led the public votes. Superintendent Cynthia Segata Jones did not speak publicly about the contract amendment during the open session after the executive session.
What this means: the amendment was described on the record as a technical correction to the annuity term rather than a change in total compensation. The board proceeded by majority voice vote and recorded each member’s aye vote. The board also discussed meeting scheduling and staffing matters following the action; Superintendent Jones introduced Edith Aguirre as the district’s new director of transportation.
Next steps: the board noted that a regularly scheduled July 23 special meeting is not expected to be held unless needed; no further public actions on the superintendent’s contract were announced.
