Utica board declines to extend employment agreement with Dr. Christopher Spence
Summary
The Utica City School District board adopted a resolution saying it will not extend the employment agreement with Dr. Christopher Spence beyond the 08/04/2027 termination date; the measure passed on a roll call vote, 5–1, with Howard Potter opposed.
The board of education for the Utica City School District voted to adopt a resolution stating it does not wish to extend the employment agreement with Dr. Christopher Spence beyond the termination date of 08/04/2027.
The Chair read the resolution into the record, including the line: "The board hereby affirms that it does not wish to and is not agreeing to an extension of the agreement beyond the 08/04/2027 termination date set forth therein." The resolution cites an employment agreement dated 07/09/2024 and specifies that "This resolution shall take effect immediately." The Chair then asked for a motion to adopt the resolution; a second was recorded.
The Clerk conducted a roll call vote. The recorded votes were: Jason Cooper — Yes; Joseph Pobaca Jr. — Yes; Braden Nannen — Yes; Danielle Padula — Yes; James Paul — Yes; Howard Potter — No. The Chair announced, "Motion carries." The board’s action was therefore adopted with five votes in favor and one opposed.
The resolution was read and adopted during the superintendent's report portion of the meeting and took effect immediately per the resolution language. No additional discussion or amendments to the resolution were recorded during the meeting.
