The superintendent would also receive 25 days of paid vacation, 11 paid holidays, and 15 personal and sick days per year.
Although it was not required, the school board opened a second public hearing to take comments on the contract prior to approval, but there were no additional comments.
Dr. Zupin said contracts were also approved for Elementary School Principal Dr. Peter Morikis and Junior/Senior High School Principal Brian Orkis.
Dr. Zupin commented, “Dr. Morikis was a temporary principal last year and so he would be awarded a two-year regular principal contract that would be for $86,000. Mr. Orkis was increased to $96,000 and he was receiving $93,000.”
Other salaries were approved for the technology director, food service director and business manager/treasurer.
Additionally, the Non-Certified employee hourly pay schedule and transportation pay schedule were discussed.
Dr. Zupin continued, “That was adjusted to ensure that we were competitive with other schools and that we were really trying to sustain workers just as everybody else is.”
All salaries were approved by the board.
