Board extends superintendent’s contract through June 30, 2027 and applies 2.5% step increase

The Carmel Unified School District Board approved an amendment to Superintendent Sharon Ofak’s employment agreement that extends the contract term by one year, to June 30, 2027, and applies the 2.5 percent annual step increase for that additional year.

Before board action, the board clerk summarized the required open‑meeting disclosure under Government Code Section 54953, saying the law requires an oral summary of recommended salary or fringe benefit changes be provided in open session when the final action is to be taken.

The amendment reflects the board’s consideration of a satisfactory performance evaluation for the 2024–25 school year and applies the same 2.5 percent step increase that was negotiated for other management and administrative employees. The board discussed the amendment and recorded no public comments on the item.

The board voted to approve the amendment; the roll call shows Board President Jason Remenzi, Board Member Sarah Hines and Board Member Matt Glaser voting yes; Board Clerk Jake Odello and Board Member Rita Patel were absent.
