Board approves consultant contract to allow incoming superintendent limited pre-start work
Summary
The Forest Hills Local Board approved a consultant contract allowing the incoming superintendent up to 15 days of paid pre-start work before an official August 1, 2026 start date, intended to help her familiarize with staff, policies and schools.
The Forest Hills Local Board of Education voted to approve a short-term consultant contract that will allow the district's incoming superintendent to work up to 15 days before her official start date of Aug. 1, 2026.
Board discussion described the contract's purpose as onboarding: a board member said the pre-start days will let the superintendent "meet some of the teachers, try to familiarize yourself with some of the policies, [and] form relationships" so she can "hit the ground running." The chair called for a vote following the discussion and the board approved the contract by roll call.
The contract (presented May 5, 2026) is scheduled to run through July 2026 and is separate from the formal employment contract that begins Aug. 1. The board did not provide detailed dollar amounts during the meeting; terms will be available in the board packet once posted publicly.
