Santa Cruz Valley board renews Superintendent Chrystal Reyes’s contract through FY2028/29 and approves performance pay

The Santa Cruz Valley Union High School District Governing Board on June 8 approved continuation of employment and a multi‑year contract for Superintendent/Principal Chrystal Reyes covering fiscal years 2026/27 through 2028/29. Vice President Jerry Olveda moved the measure, which Jordan Davis seconded; the motion carried with board members Emilio Ysaguirre, Jerry Olveda, Jordan Davis and Ralph Moran voting aye.

The board also authorized a one‑time performance‑based payment of $2,575 to Reyes under the terms of the FY 2023–2026 Principal/Superintendent contract. The payment was approved after a motion by Olveda and a second from Davis; the record shows the motion carried as recorded in the minutes.

Superintendent Reyes submitted a monthly report as part of the meeting packet. The minutes show the board handled the contract and the performance pay during open session after an executive session conducted under Arizona statute A.R.S. 38‑431.02(A) for discussion of employment and personnel matters.

Board President Emilio Ysaguirre, Vice President Jerry Olveda, Member Jordan Davis and Member Ralph Moran were recorded as voting in favor of the contract continuation. No public comment on the matter was recorded during the meeting.

What happens next: The minutes do not specify an effective start date beyond the fiscal-year language (FY 2026/27–FY 2028/29) or provide a contract number; implementation details and any administrative steps to effect the compensation payment were not specified in the meeting record.
