USD 422 approves short extensions for three principals to support COVID-19 planning
Summary
The Kiowa County school board extended contracts for three principals for up to 10 days to allow pandemic-related planning before the 2020-21 school year, with extra days paid at their daily rates; the measure passed unanimously at the July 13 organizational meeting.
On July 13 the Unified School District No. 422 Board of Education approved a temporary extension of contracts for three administrators to give staff time for planning related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Board member J. Wynn Fleener moved “that, due to COVID-19 and the planning necessary to open school on time, contracts for Stephanie White-Neuhold, Brian Deterding and Travis Powell be extended for up to 10 days for the 2020-21 school year,” with the additional days to be paid at each administrator's daily rate. The motion passed 6-0.
The extension explicitly applies to the three named school principals: Stephanie White-Neuhold (elementary/junior high), Brian Deterding (principal) and Travis Powell (principal). The board recorded the action as a short-term personnel measure tied to COVID-19 reopening work rather than a long-term contract change. No amendment language or dollar totals beyond “daily rates” was specified in the minutes.
