Board removes optional post‑employment health benefits language from superintendent contract policy
Summary
After discussion about equity and cost, the board voted to remove language in the CBC superintendent contract that said the district 'may provide health benefits' to a departing superintendent until they find other coverage or reach a set age/tenure condition.
Board members revisited the CBC superintendent contract language that had allowed the district to 'may provide health benefits' to a departing superintendent under defined conditions. Several trustees said the clause could be misread as an enticement and expressed discomfort with embedding such an expensive, discretionary benefit in policy. One trustee moved to strike the clause and the board adopted the motion by voice vote.
Trustees noted the board can still choose to authorize limited post‑employment benefits by separate motion if a future situation warrants it, but removing the optional language keeps the standard contract terms narrower and avoids implying an automatic benefit. The motion to adopt the revised CBC policy (with the health benefits language removed) was seconded and approved on the record.
