Gonzalez’s employment was the subject of a special called board meeting. The school district previously said Gonzalez's employment was being discussed because "that there are serious issues that have led to the need for the agenda item as posted."
On Tuesday, Channel 5 News obtained a copy of Gonzalez’s contract that showed he received a $10,000 raise on Sept. 1.
Gonzalez's contract was good through June 2027.
