Summary

Trustees approved a contract for Jeff Roberts that includes a 2% annual base-salary increase and allows him to volunteer as head football coach without compensation for one year; they also approved a two-month MOA to keep outgoing superintendent Susan Penrod on for July and August to assist transition.

Board members approved a superintendent contract for Jeff Roberts after a presentation that compared the offer to 10 comparable districts and set a 2% annual base salary growth. The board discussion emphasized compensation comparability and transition planning; one presenter described the package as around the 40th'50th percentile of comparables.

The contract includes a provision about coaching: "it would be uncompensated, if he stayed on as the varsity head football coach," a board member said during the discussion, noting the arrangement was intended to be temporary as the district searches for a replacement coach. The board then voted to approve the contract by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

Separately, trustees approved a memorandum of agreement to extend outgoing superintendent Susan Penrod's contract so she will serve as outgoing superintendent for July and August to support onboarding and transition work; that approval also passed by voice vote.
