The Duarte Unified School District board approved an amendment to the superintendent's employment agreement that extends the term by one year and raises the base salary by 2%, effective Jan. 1, 2026.
Board President Raina Diaz read the Brown Act-required oral summary of compensation and contract changes in open session before the vote. The board then moved, seconded and approved the amendment by roll call: Mr. Reyes, Miss Holgin, Dr. Hasso and President Diaz voted yes; Dr. Finlay was absent.
The amendment sets the new contract expiration date as June 30, 2030, and maintains all other contract provisions. Trustees said the change reflects continuity and the district's ongoing work to stabilize operations as it enters the 2026–27 school year.
No additional compensation details beyond the 2% increase and the new term were discussed on the public record during the meeting.
