The Eureka Union School District board unanimously approved an employment agreement to hire Dr. Heidi Williams as assistant superintendent of human resources. Superintendent Hana Anderson recommended Williams after a two-round interview process and highlighted Williams’s 22 years of service in the district, including roles as teacher, principal and assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction.
“Dr. Williams has been an outstanding leader in the Eureka Union community for the past 22 years,” Superintendent Hana Anderson said while introducing the candidate and summarizing the proposed contract, which runs roughly from July 15, 2026, through June 30, 2029. The contract overview given in the record included benefit and work-day terms; a specific annual salary figure in the transcript was not clearly recorded.
Trustee Renee, who served on the interview panel, moved to approve the hire, saying she had the “privilege” of working with Williams in multiple roles and called her promotion well-deserved. The motion was seconded and approved with no public comment. Board President Holt then invited Dr. Williams to address the board.
“I am incredibly honored and excited to be taking on this new role for our district,” Dr. Heidi Williams said in her remarks, adding that her goal is to anchor the human resources department in compliance and safety while supporting recruitment, retention and the district’s culture. The board congratulated Williams and the meeting proceeded to remaining agenda items.
The employment agreement was approved at the meeting; the transcript records the contract term and benefit structure but the precise salary figure was garbled in the audio-to-text record and is listed as not specified in the meeting transcript. The board will implement the appointment according to the terms of the approved agreement.
