Board amends superintendent contract, extends term and adjusts pay and days
Summary
In closed session the board approved amendments to the superintendent's contract: a 1.20% pay increase retroactive to July 1, 2024, extension of the contract to June 30, 2028, increased work days and vacation, and an added health benefit contribution; minutes reference an unclear master's-degree stipend figure.
The Merced River School District board approved amendments to the superintendent's contract during closed session on Jan. 9. The public minutes report a 1.20% salary increase retroactive to July 1, 2024, an extension of the contract through June 30, 2028, an increase in the work year to 260 days, and 20 paid vacation days. The board also approved an additional $1,000 district contribution to the superintendent's health benefits retroactive to July 1, 2024.
The closed-session minutes reference a master's stipend amount that is unclear in the written record (the transcript reads "3/25% stipend for a Master’s Degree"); the district did not provide the full contractual language or a corrected figure in the public minutes. The board reported the closed-session actions after reconvening at 8:17 p.m.
Because the contract amendment was approved in closed session, public minutes summarize the outcomes but do not include the full contract text. The board's action will be reflected in the superintendent's employment file and future personnel payroll records.
