Board extends Superintendent Aaron Duff's contract after 'excellent' evaluation
Summary
The Milton‑Freewater Unified SD 7 board unanimously extended Superintendent Aaron Duff's three‑year contract after reading an evaluation praising his leadership and a 95% graduation rate. The board asked for continued focus on bilingual messaging and building staffing ratios.
School board members voted unanimously March 9 to extend Superintendent Aaron Duff's three‑year contract after the board reviewed his March 2026 evaluation.
Board Chair Tim McElrath read the board's evaluation, which recognized Duff for his "excellent" leadership and highlighted an "amazing" 95% graduation rate and improvements for English learners. The board praised his communication and his navigation of a new four‑year collective bargaining agreement but asked for continued emphasis on consistent bilingual messaging and building‑level staffing ratios.
Claudia Limon moved to extend the superintendent contract as presented; Kelly Kessler seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The board did not record a roll‑call vote by name in the minutes; the minutes state the action was unanimously approved. Mr. Duff will continue in his current contract term as extended, and the board requested that any follow‑up on staffing ratios be reported at a future meeting.
