What happened

After a closed session on the superintendent's evaluation and contract, the board voted 4-0 on April 14 to "prepare the addendum to the Superintendent's contract as discussed." The terms were not stated. On August 11 the board approved Dr. Jennifer Baugh's 2026-27 goals.

Why it matters to families

The superintendent runs the district day to day. A contract change shows whether the board plans to keep her, but the public record does not say what changed.

The evidence

The April 14 minutes record an executive session for "the superintendent's formal evaluation and contract negotiations" and then a motion by Baker, seconded by Stewart, to prepare the addendum (aye votes from Baker, Long, Stewart and Tomasulo; Gronewoller absent). The 2026-27 goals packet lists five goals, including leadership team development and a funding campaign.
