Superintendent David Krenz is set to continue leading Austin schools after a strong vote of support from the Austin Public Schools Board on Monday.

The board voted unanimously to approve Krenz’s contract for the next three years at its meeting last night in the City Council Chambers.

“I feel very, very good,” Krenz said. “It’s always positive when you know you have the support of the board.”

His contract will renew on July 1, 2015, and will end June 30, 2018. Krenz has been the superintendent for the Austin Public Schools District for six years.

Krenz is set to make $148,614 this school year.

The three-year total package settlement includes a 3.46 percent of total package increase for 2015-2016, a 2.68 percent increase for 2016-2017, and 2.74 percent for 2017-2018 — a total 8.88 percent increase.

There were no language changes, only salary.

Krenz said he is looking forward to working with the district in the future.

“We’ll continue to look at new and innovative ways to address individual’s learning needs,” he said. “To make sure that it’s not just about teaching to that group, it’s about meeting individual needs.”

Board member Greg Larson felt good about the decision to renew Krenz’s contract.

“It was a nice project to get done and [we’re] looking forward to the next three years,” Larson said. “We had a good discussion. I think it was very positive.”

The board entered into a closed session to discuss Krenz’s evaluation. The board had no comment about the evaluation as of Monday’s meeting, but the public statement will be available at the board’s next meeting on Dec. 8.

The board discussed changes that will be made to the Bullying Prohibition Policy. Superintendent Krenz said most the changes were in the language and were procedural.

“We had a pretty extensive policy, so most of it is procedural things that was laid out in the legislation,” Krenz said.

After the anti-bullying bill that passed last spring took effect, the old policy needed to be updated to make sure each school district was following what the new legislation guidelines were. Yet Krenz and the policy committee wanted to make sure that the sensitive topic was brought to the community.

“We decided … that because it seemed to be quite a political issue, that we wanted our community involved and looking through any changes to make sure that they weren’t seeing any things that could be detrimental to students,” Krenz said.

Once the board approves the policy, it will be posted on the school district’s website. The policy will be approved at the meeting on Dec 8.
