School board to discuss superintendent search in closed session, budget discussion and more in open session

The Claremont Unified School District will recess into closed session at 3 p.m. today to discuss the superintendent candidate application review.

Current superintendent David Cash will leave the district to start at Clovis Unified School District July 1.

At 5 p.m., the school board will approve an agreement between the district and the Claremont Faculty Association and adopt a resolution of 2009 declaration of indefinite salaries.

The declaration of indefinite salaries "will provide the flexibility needed in 2009-10 to allow for salaries to be increased, have them remain the same, or reduce them if deemed necessary." The declaration is needed because the California Constitution "prohibits officers or employees from receiving additional compensation for services already rendered, unless salaries have been declared legally "indefinite."

The school board will also discuss the budget.

The meeting will take place at the Richard S. Kirkendall Education Center, 170 W. San Jose Ave.
