Cutten board approves 3.5% one-time principals stipend and sets superintendent salary at $129,109 for 2025–26
Summary
Following closed session, the Cutten Elementary School District board reported that principals received a one-time 3.5% stipend, principals' and superintendent contracts were approved for 2025–26, and the superintendent—s salary was approved at $129,109. The motion is recorded as passing unanimously.
After a closed session on labor negotiations under Government Code § 54957.6, the Cutten Elementary School District Board of Trustees reported on June 24 that principals were granted a one-time stipend of 3.5 percent and that both principals— and the superintendent—s contracts were approved for the 2025—6 school year. The board also approved a superintendent salary of $129,109 for 2025—6, according to the minutes excerpt.
The closed-session items were listed as conference-with-labor-negotiator matters with Dennis Reinholtsen named as the agency negotiator. The minutes state the personnel-related actions were reported out in open session with a motion by Beth Johsnton, seconded by Mindy Sehon, and note the motion "passed unanimously." The minutes excerpt does not include individual roll-call votes or contract documents.
Government Code § 54957.6 authorizes public agencies to meet in closed session on labor negotiations; the board—s use of closed session here is consistent with that provision as referenced in the agenda. The excerpt does not include additional detail about contract length, benefits, or whether the 3.5 percent amount is retroactive or one-time beyond the description "one time stipend."
The meeting adjourned at 6:48 p.m. The excerpt does not indicate any follow-up reporting dates for contract documents or personnel resolutions; those are typically included in the full board minutes or contract records posted after the meeting.
