[4:49] Discuss and consider.
[4:50] and take possible action regarding the superintendents' employment contract, including a possible contract

[4:58] So does the Board of Trustees approve the extension of two years and the addition of five
[5:04] vacation days to be incorporated into the amendment of the superintendents' employment contract
[5:10] that's discussed and presented?
[5:12] I have a motion from Coral.
[5:14] How's that done?
[5:15] I have a second from Nikki.
[5:17] Any other questions or comments?
[5:20] Any other questions?
[5:21] Any other questions?
[5:21] Any other questions?
[5:22] You get five days of vacation at the, um, well, I'm on a 226 contract is what most central
[5:30] office employees in administered is worth 226, right here all the time.
[5:40] So typically vacation days, um, and different districts do it differently, but, um, there's
[5:47] really no such thing as vacation days only for the position of superintendent, because although
[5:51] Although I work 226 days, that's not spelled out in the contract.
[5:55] So I'm not on a standard contract.
[5:59] Most, you know, most employees get their state and local days just like we all do.
[6:04] And you get state and local, what do you get?
[6:07] Five and five.
[6:08] Five and five.
[6:11] And this gets you an additional.
[6:13] An additional, I think I currently, I have five, right.
[6:19] right. And typically you would use vacation first and keep stayed in local because those
[6:29] expire if you leave.
[6:31] They and local is a good deal.
[6:34] They haven't gone to pick up the state roll.
[6:36] They have a state roll with you.
[6:38] They don't know where to go.
[6:39] But vacation doesn't roll or shouldn't roll. They don't accumulate. It should be annually.
[6:45] you get you know the days you use them or you lose them some districts will pay
[6:52] out they'll allow them to roll and bank kind of like annual PTO that can
[6:58] accumulate but I believe the vacation days in the contract is you use it or you
[7:05] lose it. Oh it's not so it's it's it's it's rolled yeah
[7:16] the question if what
[7:18] you rid of us.
[7:23] Okay, take a vote. Benji? Yes. Billy? Yes. Daughter? No. Nikki? Oh, I'm sorry.
[7:33] I need an explanation. A reason for no. We rushed on the evaluation. I feel it's
[7:39] too rushed on the evaluation part. And then on top of that, we've done the extension. So,
[7:46] I think it's too much.
[7:48] Okay,
[7:51] Nikki?
[7:52] Yes.
[7:53] Carla?
[7:54] Yes.
[7:55] Burke?
[7:56] Yes.
