What happened

At its July 28, 2026 meeting, the board took up a resolution authorizing district officials to begin negotiating a subsequent employment contract with Superintendent Dr. Lisa Sayles-Adams, following the board's review of her 2025-2026 performance evaluation at the same meeting.

Why it matters to families

The superintendent is the district's top administrator; whether and on what terms the board extends her contract shapes district leadership continuity for families and staff going forward.

The evidence

The July 28, 2026 board meeting agenda lists, as a New Business action item, a 'Resolution Authorizing Negotiations for a Subsequent Superintendent Employment Contract' (Resolution 2026-0059), immediately following an agenda item presenting the '2025-2026 Superintendent Evaluation Summary.'
