I have no idea why the new superintendent’s contract has this staple from the 60s playing in my head, but earworms are for sharing.

Here it is:

• $320,000 annual salary
• Use of a district car (personal use forbidden) or reimbursement of expenses
• Reimbursement of reasonable business expenses
• District cell phone
• Health insurance benefits that are available to other ‘managerial’ employees
• Life insurance premium not to exceed $2500 to maintain the existing $750,000 policy he already has
• No FRS contribution. (He’s not eligible.) 8.62% contribution to voluntary account, which is $27,584 per year. The amount will be recalculated in succeeding years.
• Holidays will be same as other 12 month employees
• Vacation leave at 2 days per month not to exceed 62 days.
• Sick leave at 1 day per month
• $15,000 in moving expenses or actual amount, whichever is less as documented by receipts.
• Professional development: appropriate memberships will be paid, expenses and travel up to 25 days a year as approved by the Board Chair.
• Annual evaluation.
• Legal expenses will be covered if related to employment unless they result from gross negligence or willful misconduct
• Board may unilaterally terminate employment. In that case, 20 weeks of pay if superintendent signs a legal release of liability, plus payout of accrued sick leave and up to 60 days of vacation leave

Contract to run from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028.

However, unless this guy is good, really, really good, I don’t think he’ll make it past two years. IJS …
