Board votes to let superintendent contract expire on June 30, 2025
Summary
The North River School District board voted 5-0 to continue the current Superintendent/Principal contract only through its June 30, 2025 maturity date and to reject any renewal proposals beyond that date. The vote followed an executive session called under RCW 42.30.110(G).
Chairman Churape and the North River School District Board of Directors voted Feb. 20 to allow the current Superintendent/Principal contract to run only through its maturity date of June 30, 2025 and to reject any future renewal proposals.
Director Banas introduced the motion, saying that during the March 2024 board meeting via Zoom a new proposal had been presented. "I make a motion to continue the existing contract through its maturity date June 30, 2025 and to reject any future proposals beyond that date," he said. Director Greiner seconded the motion. The board recorded a roll call vote of 5yes: Koehn, Farnell, Banas, Greiner and Churape.
The board considered the matter after an executive session the board held under RCW 42.30.110(G), which the meeting notice said was to evaluate the qualifications of an applicant for public employment or to review the performance of a public employee. The session began at 7:17 p.m., was extended several times, and ended at 8:17 p.m.
The action is a formal decision to end consideration of any contract renewal beyond June 30, 2025; the record does not include further details about next steps for superintendent search or transition planning. The board did not announce any immediate successor at the meeting.
