Superintendent requests clause matching administrators’ benefits; board to draft updated contract
Summary
Dr. Compton asked the board to add a clause to her contract entitling the superintendent to fringe benefits granted to the Seymour Administrators Association (unless otherwise specified). The board agreed to work with counsel to draft the language and review it in July or August.
Superintendent Dr. Compton asked the board to include a sentence in her contract that would entitle the superintendent to the same fringe benefits granted to members of the Seymour Administrators Association unless otherwise specified.
Dr. Compton said she compared multiple superintendent contracts, noted she is among the lower‑paid superintendents in the region, and requested transparency by including the benefits clause in the written contract. She asked that the contract state: the superintendent shall be entitled to all benefits granted to the Seymour Administrators Association which are not otherwise specified in this contract. The request was framed as a parity/clarity matter rather than a request for additional unique perks.
Board members agreed to work with the superintendent and legal counsel (attorney Floyd, as referenced) to draft contract language and to revisit the matter in a July or August meeting. The superintendent also asked for the opportunity for individual meetings with board members to review written documentation and self‑evaluation materials prior to finalizing any language.
No changes were executed at the meeting; the board instructed staff and counsel to prepare a draft contract reflecting the proposed clause for future consideration.
