Board approves consent agenda, contract extensions and superintendent evaluation
Summary
After a brief executive session the Vernonia board approved the consent agenda, approved administrative contract extensions (resolutions presented as 2025-02 and 2025-03), adopted the superintendent's 2024–25 annual evaluation and appointed a board designee to negotiate the superintendent's contract.
At the end of the meeting, the board approved the consent agenda by motion and then recessed to executive session under Oregon Revised Statutes to review the superintendent's performance. Returning to open session, the board approved administrative contract extensions and the superintendent's annual evaluation, and appointed a board member to negotiate the superintendent's contract.
Committee member (S2) moved "to approve the extension contract extension resolution number 2025Dash02 and lisonbee staff extension resolution number 2025Dash03 as presented," which was seconded and carried. Later, Committee member (S8) moved to approve the 2024–25 annual evaluation of Superintendent Jim Hellman; that motion was carried. The board then moved and seconded a motion to appoint Susan Wagner to negotiate Superintendent Jim Hellman's contract on behalf of the board; the motion was adopted by unanimous voice vote.
The actions were recorded as carried; vote tallies were taken by voice and no roll-call vote with individual member votes was recorded in the transcript. These personnel and contract items followed an executive-session performance review; details of that closed session were not discussed in open session.
