This source cluster synthesizes the retained Academy District 20 documents that directly support Jinger C. Haberer's appointment, later superintendent contract, January 2026 extension action, and May 2026 superintendent-employment action sequence. The current repository now supports five distinct record groups: a March 2023 board resolution appointing Haberer as superintendent, a May 9, 2024 superintendent contract, a May 24, 2024 addendum changing the professional-membership clause, January 8, 2026 agendas/minutes showing a public consent-agenda approval of Resolution 15-26, titled Approval of Superintendent Contract through 2028, and May 12 through May 19, 2026 records showing performance / legal-advice executive-session notices, a public May 14 Resolution 207-26 action recorded by generated transcript, and a May 19 agenda item to appoint an acting superintendent.
The contract record supports the face terms of the agreement. The January 2026 records materially narrow the renewal question: the retained agendas and minutes do not show non-renewal notice; instead, they show legal advice on a proposed extension and public approval of a contract-through-2028 item. The May 2026 source layer then materially changes the current-status question again. The strongest retained source for the Resolution 207-26 action is generated transcript / ASR from the public video package, cross-checked with a focused faster-whisper pass, so exact wording remains audio-verification dependent until official minutes, the adopted resolution, or another direct text record is retained.

Signed Resolution.pdf |
Resolution 176-23 appointed Jinger C. Haberer superintendent of Academy District 20 after finalists had been declared under Colorado open-meetings finalist rules. The OCR-readable resolution says it was approved 5-0. |
This is appointment evidence, not a contract. It does not contain salary, term, evaluation, renewal, severance, or benefit terms. |

2024-05-09 Supt Contract Signed_Redacted.pdf |
The Board and Jinger C. Haberer entered a superintendent contract, ratified by board resolution at the May 9, 2024 regular meeting. The contract names Haberer as superintendent and sets a July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026 employment term. |
The PDF is image-only, so this summary relies on OCR review. The duplicate -1 PDF has the same SHA-1 hash and should be treated as the same capture. |

addendum inside 2024-05-09 Supt Contract Signed_Redacted.pdf |
The Board and superintendent amended Section 4.2, replacing the fixed $1,500 membership-fee cap with annual district payment for AASA, CASE, CASB, and other board-chair-approved professional organizations. |
The addendum only changes Section 4.2; it does not establish any other amendment. |

special-meeting agenda/minutes | The Board noticed and held an executive session for legal advice on its rights and obligations under a proposed extension of the superintendent's contract and for the superintendent's annual mid-year evaluation. The minutes state no formal action would be taken in executive session and record the executive session from 2:11 p.m. to 3:49 p.m., with Haberer and counsel present. |
Executive-session records support the topic and participants, not the legal advice given or any closed-session decision. |
2026-01-08 |
regular-meeting agenda/minutes | The regular agenda placed Resolution 15-26, Approval of Superintendent Contract through 2028, on the consent agenda. The minutes mark the item Carried; say President Amy Shandy recommended updated language to the superintendent contract; record consent approval 4-0; and state that the consent agenda was approved with Resolution 15-26 revisions. |
This is direct board-action evidence for an extension/contract action through 2028, but the repo does not yet retain the executed revised contract or exact updated language. |
2026-05-12 and 2026-05-13 |
special-meeting agendas | The Board noticed executive sessions for superintendent performance evaluation and legal advice on specific legal matters regarding board oversight of superintendent performance. | Agenda evidence supports the noticed topics only, not the advice, evaluation content, action, or cause. |
2026-05-14 |
regular-meeting agenda, latest retained v2 | The latest retained May 14 regular agenda included a late executive-session item for legal advice regarding superintendent conduct and advice regarding superintendent contract and employment, followed by Resolution 207-26 pertaining to superintendent contract and employment matters as discussed in executive session. |
Agenda evidence supports the public meeting structure and item title, not the executive-session advice or action outcome. Because the retained v1 agenda/packet used 207-26 for New Summit and 208-26 for Douglass Valley before v2 reassigned labels, cite this item with date/title/version rather than number alone. |

generated transcript / ASR from public video package plus focused excerpt | The retained generated transcript records a post-executive-session public motion for Resolution 207-26 that served Haberer with notice of discharge for good and just cause, referenced alleged insubordination / attorney-client privilege issues tied to the May 7, 2026 special board meeting, preserved notice of a right to a hearing, and placed Haberer on administrative leave with benefits pending a hearing. |
This is generated transcript / ASR evidence from a preserved public-video excerpt, not official minutes. Exact wording, vote tally, legal grounds, and names require human audio verification or official records before publication-grade quotation. |
2026-05-19 |
virtual special-meeting agenda | The Board noticed a decision item, Resolution 208-26, to appoint an acting superintendent. |
This is agenda evidence only; it does not prove that the appointment occurred or identify the acting superintendent. |
| Topic | Direct contract term | Analysis note |
|---|---|---|
| Parties | Board of Education of Academy School District Twenty and Jinger C. Haberer | Direct evidence of the contracting parties. |
| Employment term | July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026 |
Face term only. Later renewal status requires checking board notice or renewal records. |
| Appropriation limit | Financial commitments are subject to annual appropriation by the Board based on district fiscal resources | The contract does not irrevocably pledge reserves for the full term. |
| Automatic renewal | If the Board does not notify the superintendent in writing before January 31, 2025, and each January 31 thereafter, that the agreement will not be renewed, the agreement is deemed renewed for one year |
This is the main current-status question. The contract creates a renewal mechanism, but the repo still needs later Board/non-renewal records to determine whether the contract was extended beyond June 30, 2026. |
| Duties | Superintendent has charge of school administration, serves as chief executive officer of the Board, directs and assigns employees subject to Board approval, organizes administration, selects personnel subject to Board approval, and initiates or amends administrative policies and procedures | Supports broad administrative authority, but not specific later policy decisions. |
| Full-time service | Contract is full-time; superintendent must devote attention to superintendent functions | Outside work is limited and subject to Board approval for substantial time commitments. |
| Residency | Superintendent must maintain residency within district boundaries for the contract term | The contract imposes the requirement; this source does not verify compliance. |
| Board relationship | Board generally refers criticisms, complaints, and suggestions to the superintendent for study and recommendation unless district welfare requires otherwise | Supports a formal complaint-routing relationship, not evidence of how specific complaints were handled. |
| Base salary | $255,000 annually, paid in twelve monthly installments |
Salary increases cannot be less than the percentage increase received by district administrators, but later pay requires payroll or board records. |
| PTO | Twenty days annually; unused PTO may accumulate up to ten days and be paid at termination at the per diem salary rate | The source does not show actual PTO use or payout. |
| Supplemental pay | $2,100 per month for meetings, functions, events, special occasions, and legislative advocacy directly related to district business and in the district's best interest |
The contract treats this as taxable and PERA-includable salary. Actual use does not appear to require receipts in the same way as expense reimbursement. |
| Life insurance | Up to $300,000 annual renewable level term policy, based on premium not to exceed $150 per month / $1,800 per year, with 80% payable to the superintendent's beneficiary and 20% payable to the district |
Supports benefit structure, not proof of policy purchase or beneficiary designation. |
| Expense reimbursement | Reasonable necessary expenses reimbursed with paid receipts; one service-club membership reimbursable | Additional service-club memberships or community-organization expenses are borne by the superintendent. |
| Evaluation | Written mid-year and end-of-year evaluations each school year, with goal-setting and progress feedback; minimum meetings around January 15, June 15, and July 30 |
The contract creates an evaluation process. The repo still needs evaluation records or board minutes to assess implementation. |
| Indemnification | District defense and indemnification apply within legal limits for good-faith, in-scope conduct, excluding claims brought by or on behalf of the district and criminal proceedings | The contract requires prompt notice, cooperation, and no settlement without Board consent. |
| Unilateral termination by district | District may terminate without cause on five days' written notice; if less than one year remains, pays remaining base salary; if more than one year remains, payment is limited to one full year of base salary, plus vested/accrued vacation and personal leave days | This is a severance-like payment mechanism, but actual termination would require a later record. |
| Transition superintendent provision | If the superintendent unilaterally terminates effective June 30 of an academic year with notice by January 31, she is granted one additional year as Transition Superintendent at prior salary plus administrator percentage increase, with supplemental pay and health insurance but not several other benefits |
This unusual transition provision is important for later contract analysis, but it is triggered only by specified superintendent notice. |
| Suspension | Board may suspend the superintendent with pay and benefits and written reasons when it deems suspension in the district's best interest | This is authority language only; no suspension is supported by this source. |
| Breach | Failure to fulfill contract obligations may be treated as an Administrator's Code of Ethics violation and reported to relevant associations or education authorities | This is a contractual remedy/risk clause, not evidence of breach. |
| Notice | Board notice address names Aaron Salt, President, Board of Education, at the district Chapel Hills Drive address; superintendent notice address is redacted or not OCR-visible beyond Haberer's name | The notice section is useful for governance context but does not show that any notice was sent. |
| Source | Target | Mechanism | Flow | Evidence strength | Source basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D20 Board of Education | Jinger C. Haberer | Appointment resolution | Governance authority / superintendent appointment | direct evidence | Resolution 176-23, approved March 23, 2023 |
| D20 Board of Education | Jinger C. Haberer | Superintendent employment contract | Salary, benefits, administrative authority, evaluation obligations, termination rights, renewal mechanism | direct evidence for contract terms; unresolved for later implementation | May 9, 2024 superintendent contract |
| D20 Board of Education | Professional organizations / superintendent role | Contract addendum changing membership-fee provision | District-paid professional association membership support | direct evidence for amendment; unresolved for actual payments | May 24, 2024 addendum |
On the face of the May 9, 2024 contract, Haberer's employment term ran through June 30, 2026, subject to automatic renewal unless the Board provided written non-renewal notice before the relevant January 31 deadline. The January 8, 2026 board records now point away from a non-renewal theory. The special-meeting agenda/minutes show legal advice on a proposed extension of the superintendent's contract, and the regular-meeting agenda/minutes show public consent-agenda approval of Resolution 15-26, Approval of Superintendent Contract through 2028.
The strongest current inference is therefore that the Board took public action on January 8, 2026 to extend or approve Haberer's superintendent contract through 2028, not merely allowed the old contract to auto-renew silently. This should still be stated carefully because the repo does not yet retain the executed extension, the final revised contract text, or a signed Resolution 15-26 attachment. The minutes' phrase with Resolution 15-26 revisions is a useful source flag: the version approved may have changed from the posted agenda language.
For later termination analysis, the practical baseline is no longer simply contract expires June 30, 2026 unless renewed. The retained public records support a contract-through-2028 action unless contradicted by the executed revised contract or later board records. That makes a five-day-without-cause termination near June 30, 2026 potentially much more expensive than if the contract were ending naturally, because more than a few days may have remained on the amended term.
The contract is also useful for analyzing the superintendent's formal role in later D20 disputes. It gives Haberer broad administrative authority, requires attendance or representation at Board and district-created citizen committee meetings unless excused, routes most Board-received criticism or complaints to the superintendent, and requires written mid-year and end-of-year evaluation. Those provisions can guide later source requests, but they should not be used as proof that Haberer personally handled any specific issue unless a source says so.
The May 2026 record sequence should now be treated as a high-priority source-completion lane. On May 12 and May 13, the Board noticed back-to-back special meetings at the USAFA Falcon Room for superintendent performance evaluation and legal advice on board oversight of superintendent performance. On May 14, the regular-meeting agenda placed Board-Superintendent Relationship monitoring reports in the packet, noticed a late executive session for legal advice regarding superintendent conduct plus superintendent contract and employment, and then placed Resolution 207-26 as a decision item for superintendent contract and employment matters discussed in executive session.
The retained local video transcription package adds a generated-transcript layer for what happened after the May 14 executive session. The full MLX Whisper transcript and the focused faster-whisper cross-check both record a public Resolution 207-26 motion involving notice of discharge for good and just cause, alleged insubordination / attorney-client privilege issues tied to the May 7, 2026 special board meeting, notice of hearing rights, and administrative leave with benefits pending a hearing. A May 19 virtual special-meeting agenda then notices Resolution 208-26, Appoint an Acting Superintendent.
This sequence is a current-status and source-routing finding, not a personnel conclusion. It supports a strong need to retrieve official May 14 minutes, adopted Resolution 207-26, any written notice served under paragraph 9.3, the May 7 meeting materials relevant to the motion, any public hearing notice, the May 19 packet/minutes/Resolution 208-26, and any acting-superintendent appointment record. It does not establish final termination, hearing outcome, severance, cause beyond the public motion, the identity or role of the referenced person of interest, or a causal relationship to ACA, New Summit, budget, public comments, or other May 14 agenda items.
The May 14, 2026 agenda and packet should be cited as versioned records. The retained first agenda/packet capture assigned Resolution 207-26 to New Summit Charter Academy contract renewal and Resolution 208-26 to the Douglass Valley PK-8 construction-services item. The retained later agenda/packet capture reassigned those items to Resolution 205-26 and Resolution 206-26, respectively, and added the superintendent executive-session / Resolution 207-26 employment item.
The latest retained May 14 version therefore remains the source basis for superintendent Resolution 207-26, but 207-26 and 208-26 should not be used as stand-alone labels across the May 14/May 19 sequence. Future records requests should identify meeting date, source URL or document id, version/fetched-at state, item title/topic, and resolution number together, and should ask for posting/version logs, superseded agenda and packet versions, final adopted agenda, signed resolutions, and official minutes.
This is a source-custody correction, not misconduct evidence. The version change does not itself support concealment, illegality, causality, or any relationship among New Summit, Douglass Valley, and superintendent-employment items.
May 20, 2026 follow-up resolved the current-version question. A live helper check returned the May 14 agenda document 51742 as unchanged against retained 51742--v2.html, and a direct live packet download returned the same SHA-256 as retained 51743--v2.pdf. The same pass confirmed the May 19 agenda document 51887 as unchanged and the May 19 packet document 51889 as hash-matching the retained packet. The current canonical mapping is therefore: May 14 current v2 has NSCA as 205-26, Douglass Valley as 206-26, and superintendent contract/employment as 207-26; May 19 has acting superintendent as 208-26, still as agenda/packet evidence only.
The remaining source gap is no longer which agenda/packet version is current. It is the lack of official posting/version logs, final adopted agenda if distinct from the current agenda, official May 14 and May 19 minutes, signed/adopted resolutions, written notice, and hearing/outcome records.
