Negaunee board approves three-year contract for superintendent after closed-session evaluation
Summary
After a closed session to discuss his evaluation, the board approved a three-year rolling contract for Superintendent Andy Skewis and amended the 2026-27 salary to the 2027-28 step ($130,212); the motion passed 6-0 after one trustee left the closed session.
The Negaunee Public Schools Board moved into closed session on June 22 to discuss Superintendent Andy Skewis’ evaluation and, after returning to open session, approved a three-year rolling contract for Skewis with an amended 2026-27 salary that moves him to the 2027-28 step of $130,212.
The board voted 7-0 to enter closed session at 5:53 p.m.; the board returned to open session at 6:47 p.m. During the closed session, board member D. Paananen left at approximately 5:58 p.m. When open session resumed, the board unanimously approved the three-year contract amendment on a 6-0 vote (one member absent from the vote). Board members complimented Skewis for his work and noted his handling of district challenges as part of their remarks supporting the contract.
Why it matters: The contract approval sets multi-year terms and the superintendent’s salary step for 2026-27, affecting leadership continuity and personnel costs in the district’s operating budget.
Procedure and outcome: The motion to approve the rolling contract with the salary amendment was made by G. Toutant and supported by F. Collins; the board voted 6-0 to carry the motion. The minutes record no formal action taken during the closed session itself; the contract approval occurred after the board returned to open session.
The meeting adjourned at 6:49 p.m.
