A really interesting line from the article:
“Gangadin
and Rivera had announced in December 2015 that Lyles’ contract automatically
renewed because her contract required the board to give her notice by the end
of 2015. But state law gave the board a March 2, 2016 deadline.”
And,
This line is very interesting because in January 2017 Lodi
BOE members were told that they couldn’t discuss the Superintendent’s contract for
renewal/nonrenewal because the contract automatically renewed effective January 1, 2017. The board was never informed of the automatic
renewal and no discussion ever took place. The contract was expiring on June 30, 2017. According
to state statute, the Board should have had until January 30, 2017 to determine renewal/nonrenewal. The contract
approved by the Lodi BOE in 2012 and rubber-stamped by someone in the County
Office did not meet state statutory requirements. No shocker there.
