Board Minutes September 24, 2012
RELATED INFORMATION: Under the Superintendent’s Contract, decisions about compensation
are to be made within ninety (90) days of the end of a school year. The date this year would be
September 28. An extension is necessary because certain data provided by the State Department of
Education, that is needed to complete the compensation calculation, is not yet available. With this
extension, the new deadline would be November 27. This extension would be a one-time modification
of the deadline and not a permanent amendment to the Superintendent’s Contract
A motion was made by Jordan Lebamoff, seconded by Julie Hollingsworth, that the
recommendation concerning the Superintendent’s Contract be approved. Roll Call: Ayes, unanimous;
nays, none.
