Board approves Superintendent Miller's contract
What happened
At its July 2, 2026 special meeting, the board approved a new contract for Superintendent Miller. The board heard that the contract had been negotiated the day before and included three verbal amendments, including a $100,000 district-paid term-life-insurance benefit and a longevity-bonus retirement incentive.
Why it matters to families
The superintendent leads the district day to day and recommends major school decisions. A new contract settles who will lead all district schools and records benefits that are part of the district's leadership cost.
The evidence
The official meeting recording shows the board discussing the new superintendent contract, the three verbal amendments, and then voting to approve the contract with those amendments. This account relies on YouTube auto-generated captions, which are not approved minutes.
