Board approves James Pfeil as interim superintendent effective Aug. 1
Summary
The board voted to hire James Pfeil as interim superintendent for the 2026‑27 year, effective Aug. 1; one board member announced an abstention prior to the roll call. The contract was discussed in closed session earlier that day.
The Watertown Unified School District board approved a resolution to employ James Pfeil as interim superintendent for the 2026‑27 school year, with a contract effective Aug. 1.
The resolution (9520) was moved and seconded. One board member announced a planned abstention during discussion, citing limited time spent with the candidate; the board proceeded to roll call and the motion carried. The chair said the board had reviewed the individual in closed session July 20 and voted in open session to formalize the appointment.
Why it matters: superintendent appointments shape district leadership and priorities; the interim hire provides continuity while the board proceeds with longer‑term planning.
