The San Ramon Valley Unified School District Board of Education is set for a discussion and vote Tuesday on a proposed contract for the district’s incoming superintendent as the school year comes to an end and the current superintendent’s final day approaches.
The district is poised to see a change in leadership on July 1, with current Superintendent John Malloy set to depart the position on June 30 and current Fremont Superintendent CJ Cammack – who previously held an administrative role at SRVUSD – set to take the reins on July 1, according to his proposed contract up for a board vote this week.
The three-year contract on the table at the upcoming board meeting would see Cammack’s salary starting at $395,000 annually for the upcoming school year, with potential 3% raises being considered annually starting next year, depending on the raises provided in the contracts with unionized employees those years. If those raises are less than 3%, he would “receive the same level of increase as the bargaining units for the said corresponding year,” according to the proposed contract.
Malloy, who started at a salary of $340,000 annually when he was hired in 2020, is currently earning more than $400,000 annually after an 8.5% raise in 2022 that was in line with what the district’s teacher and school employee unions had come to an agreement on that year.
As of 2022, Cammack was making $350,111.52 annually as superintendent at the Fremont Unified School District, according to Transparent California.
Upon starting in the new role this summer, Cammack will have “freedom to organize, reorganize and arrange the administrative and supervisory staff,” in whatever way he judges is best for the district under the proposed contract plus state law and district board policy.
The SRVUSD Board of Education is set to meet at 6 p.m. on Tuesday (May 14). The agenda is available here.

*The board will consider whether to direct staff to develop a district policy on supplementary educational materials following a board workshop on April 25 that was spurred by a parent’s complaint about material her child had read. The board rejected her request to have the book removed from district shelves on Feb. 20, instead directing staff to schedule a discussion on the district’s textbook acquisition and complaint processes.
*The board is set to consider approving tentative agreements with the California School Employees Association, and the Service Employees International Union, which include a 6.8% ongoing salary increase plus a one-time payment of 1% of the annual base salary for CSEA employees and a 6% ongoing salary increase and 1% one-time payout for SEIU employees.
The budget impact for the CSEA agreement is estimated at $3,558,999, and $1,946,844 for the SEIU agreement.
*The board is set to consider approving a 6% salary increase for upper level administrators, as well as the same one-time payment of 1% of their annual base salary.
