Board approves superintendent contract for Jeff Roberts and extends outgoing superintendent's onboarding
Summary
The board approved a contract for Jeff Roberts, with negotiated benchmarks and a 2% annual base salary growth; trustees also approved a two‑month MOA extending Susan Penrod's contract to provide transition support into July and August.
Trustees approved a contract for Jeff Roberts as the district's incoming superintendent and separately approved a memorandum of agreement to extend outgoing superintendent Susan Penrod's contract through July and August to provide onboarding and transition support. A board negotiator summarized comparables used in drafting the contract, noting the board positioned the contract near the 40th–50th percentile of comparable districts and included a 2% annual base salary growth.
Negotiations also addressed extracurricular coaching: the contract allows the incoming superintendent to continue as an uncompensated varsity football coach for a transition year to allow time to find a replacement. Board members expressed appreciation for the negotiation team and the outgoing superintendent's willingness to support onboarding. The board moved, seconded and approved both the superintendent contract and the MOA extension by voice votes; the administration said the outgoing superintendent's last active duties end June 30, with the new superintendent taking over July 1 and onboarding occurring in July and August.
