John Glenn School Board Considers Superintendent’s Contract

The John Glenn School Board considered the superintendent’s contract retroactive to July 1, 2017. The contract is valid through June 30, 2019.

The contract included a two percent increase as that is in line with increases approved for the staff at the school corporation. The base salary was advertised at $117,346 with a $5,000 annuity. The school corporation will pay all but $1 on a life insurance premium on a $110,000 term life insurance policy which is $171 a year. The corporation will also pay all but $1 of the Corporation Family Health/Dental/Optical Insurance plan until the superintendent reaches the age of 65. The cost will be $23,363 a year.

The superintendent will receive three personal days and 8 sick days per year. Fifteen days of vacation time will be allowed.

A public hearing on the superintendent’s contract was opened during Tuesday’s school board meeting. No members of the public offered any comment during the meeting. The board members then unanimously approved the superintendent’s contract as presented.

The board members also approved the administrator’s contracts as presented. Those, too, have a two percent increase included. However, the new athletic director was approved to receive a one percent increase.
