SCCS Board of Education - Special Board Meeting - 04/28/2026

The special board meeting of the SCCS Board of Education on April 28, 2026, focused primarily on procurement and contract matters, as well as school enrollment and policy discussions. Key procurement-related topics included the review and pending approval of an athletic trainer contract for Caitlin Bradley, with a proposed annual salary of $62,000 plus a stipend if medical benefits are declined. The board also discussed a previously unsigned contract for Derek Bouchard, which had been retroactively signed but not formally approved by the board, highlighting concerns about unauthorized contract approvals and stipends issued without board authorization. The board agreed to review these contracts further before voting. Additionally, the board deliberated extensively on school of choice enrollment limits and classroom capacity, emphasizing the need for a concrete plan on class sizes and section numbers to manage student distribution effectively and avoid overloading certain schools. The meeting included a closed session to review legal advice related to a FOIA appeal concerning document disclosures tied to ongoing litigation. No final decisions were made on the FOIA appeal during this meeting. Public comments addressed concerns about meeting scheduling and stipend approvals. The board passed a motion to adjourn after these discussions.
