In the midst of negotiations with the district teachers’ union (BEA) it is very interesting to see the increase which the Board of Education approved for the Superintendent. His base salary increased from $171,007 to $181,707 (6.25% increase) for the first year of his new five year contract. Plus there is “merit pay” to be set by the Board. Merit pay in the prior contract (2009-2010) was $10,700. The $181,707 (base salary 2010-2011) was obtained by adding the $171,007 and $10,700. Using the 6% annual limit as spelled out on Page 3 [See photocopy below] the following is an estimate of the annual salary and merit pay for the next five school years.
Year Annual Salary Merit Pay Projection
2010-2011 181,707 10.902
2011-2012 192,609 11,557
2012-2013 204,165 12,250
2013-2014 216,416 12,985
2014-2015 229,401 13,764
In summary, salary and merit pay increased by 6.25 first year and 6% each year after that. To see the cost of the other benefits see: http://district100watchdog.blogspot.com/2010/07/supt-looks-forward-to-continued-role-at.html For 2009-2010 the total cost of salary and benefits was $234,704. Thus approximately $50,000 of additional benefit cost should probably occur each year, in 2014-2015 total wages and benefits cost would equal $300,000.
Another interesting fact which came to light by the new contract is on page 9, Section 16. The Board agrees to pay tuition associated with the Superintendent’s requirements for completion of his doctoral degree from Aurora University. Such continuing education costs amounted to $9,200 in 2009-2010.
