A final contract for Tucson Unified School District's lone superintendent finalist isn't the only contract that's being discussed in the TUSD's governing board's continuing executive session meeting today at 4:30 p.m. A press release went out this morning that the meeting, first posted yesterday on TUSD's website, would convene today to "consider the contract for H.T. Sanchez, named as the next TUSD superintendent. The board met Thursday evening in a special meeting and paused the meeting to allow further negotiations to continue with representing attorneys."

Also part of the discussion, according to the agenda information listed on website, are two consultant contracts for outgoing TUSD Superintendent John Pedicone and outgoing Deputy Superintendent Maria Menconi. Both consultant contracts are for the the first two weeks of July, from Monday, July 1 through Monday, July 15.

Menconi's contract salary is for $500 per day for each day worked not to exceed $4,999. Pedicone's consultant salary is for $999 per day not to exceed $4,999.

And yes, Ector County Independent School District's board of trustees meets in a special meeting on Monday, July 1 to discuss naming Sanchez, currently working as their interim superintendent, the Odessa, Texas district's lone finalist.

Yes. Could be a carnival ride. Hold on tight.
