Summary

Staff informed the board that the superintendent's contract approved June 8 was processed in a single step when procedure required two; the corrective motion would rescind the prior approval and reinstate/amend the 2024–27 contract and approve the 2027–29 contract with the same economic terms.

District staff reported a procedural error in the board's prior approval of the superintendent's contract: the changes were incorporated in a single action when district procedure required a two‑step process. Staff asked the board to rescind the earlier action approved on 06/08/2026, reinstate and amend the 2024–27 superintendent contract, and approve a subsequent 2027–29 contract — with the same economic results as the prior approval.

The presenter characterized the request as corrective and not economic in effect: "The economic reality of all those is exactly the same," staff said, describing the motion as procedural to ensure the record matches required processes. Board members asked when the error had been discovered and staff responded it was found recently while drafting other contracts and in consultation with district counsel; a motion and second were recorded in the meeting packet, but the excerpt does not include a final roll‑call vote.
