The Blackhawk School District Board of School Directors approved an employment contract for Dr. Johanna Vanata to serve as superintendent, effective March 15, 2024.
Board members moved and seconded the item at the March 14 work session and approved the contract by voice vote with eight members present. The board did not record any dissenting votes in the meeting transcript.
The appointment was discussed briefly before the vote. Student representative Andrew Woods welcomed Vanata and said he hoped she would help the district “maintain this status of the top community for musical education.” Board members and staff offered a welcome and said they look forward to a smooth transition.
No additional contractual details such as salary or benefits were discussed on the record during the meeting; the motion and formal vote were the primary actions taken. The board listed March 21, 2024, as its next regular meeting.
