The Longview School Board has renewed the contract for Superintendent Karen Cloninger, despite an ongoing investigation by Longview police into potential violations of Washington state's mandatory reporter law. The contract runs from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2029, and keeps Clonlinger at her current annual salary of $221,195. The board approved the contract through a unanimous consent agenda at the April 13 meeting. This comes amid criticism from parents about not being transparent about allegations of serious sexual assault on two male students at Mark Morris High School. Police records also reveal that multiple administrators and faculty members are being investigated for potentially violating mandatory reporting laws. No administrators or faculty members have been placed on administrative leave during the criminal investigation.
