Board approves change to require board approval for at‑will hires
Summary
The board voted to amend policy DC so the board must approve noncontractual (at‑will) hires, aligning those hires with existing approval for contract employees. Administration said the change formalizes a practice intended to increase transparency and consistency.
The board approved an amendment to Board Policy DC that will require board approval for noncontractual (at‑will) employees, making the approval process the same for contract and noncontract hires. A staff presenter told trustees the change is intended to formalize current practice and increase transparency in hiring.
"The amendment, all it does is make the same language or contractual and noncontractual, and that is that the board retains final authority for employment," said the staff presenter (Speaker 10). Board discussion clarified that the amendment would not prevent the superintendent from offering conditional employment between meetings, provided the hire remains subject to board approval. A motion to approve the amendment was made and seconded and the motion passed.
