At its Sept. 26 special meeting, the North River School District board approved a one-year, $3,000 contract (2024–25) appointing Superintendent Rick Winters to continue serving as the district’s Special Education Director. Director Greiner moved the contract; Director Farnell seconded. A roll-call vote recorded Greiner — I, Farnell — I, Chairman Churape — I and Vice Chair Koehn — Nay; the motion passed 3–1.
The minutes specify the term (2024–25) and the dollar amount ($3,000) for the one-year contract but do not provide further detail on duties, reporting structure, or whether the amount is a stipend or reimbursement. During public commentary on agenda items, a visitor asked about the difference between a special-education director and a special-education teacher; the minutes record the question but do not attribute it to a named individual nor do they record a substantive board explanation beyond noting the distinction between the roles.
Because the minutes do not include direct quotations or detailed job descriptions, readers seeking contract specifics or the board’s rationale should contact the district office for the signed contract or additional documentation.
