Board extends superintendent's contract over one dissenting vote
Summary
The board voted 3–1 to extend Superintendent Glen Szymoniak's contract. Board Director Marc Staunton voted no, saying he had expected no extension and was surprised by the timing. The extension was described as an annual courtesy tied to a favorable evaluation.
The Klamath County School District board approved an extension to Superintendent Glen Szymoniak's contract at the March 13 meeting. The motion passed 3–1 (Steve Lowell: Yea; Jill O'Donnell: Yea; John Rademacher: Yea; Marc Staunton: Nay; Brooke Kliewer: Absent). Marc Staunton explained his Nay vote by saying he was "caught off guard" because prior discussions had suggested an extension would not be needed and he objected to presenting an extension without more prior notice and discussion.
Board member Jill O'Donnell characterized offering a contract extension as an annual courtesy following a favorable evaluation. The minutes show the board recorded the vote and noted Staunton's concerns; no amendment or further action was recorded. The board's vote extends the superintendent's contract as presented in the meeting materials.
