North Kingstown School Committee extends superintendent’s contract for three years

The North Kingstown School Committee on Feb. 10 announced a unanimous three‑year extension of Superintendent Dr. Kenneth Duba’s contract.

Reading a prepared letter into the record, the chair said the committee “is pleased to announce that it has been unanimously approved a 3 year extension of superintendent doctor Kenneth Duba's contract,” citing his leadership through a school bond campaign, improvements to facilities, and efforts to build leadership capacity across the district. The letter states the extension continues the contract through June 29 (the read text did not specify the terminal year within the announcement excerpt).

Committee remarks emphasized continuity in district leadership while thanking Dr. Duba for visible engagement in school activities. No formal objections or roll‑call dissent were recorded in the meeting transcript when the extension was read into the record.

The extension was announced during the committee’s superintendent report and recorded as part of the meeting’s public minutes. There was no vote transcript included in the public readout beyond the chair’s statement that the contract had been unanimously approved at an earlier vote referenced in the meeting.
