Board amends superintendent's contract to add salary schedule required by Michigan retirement rules
Summary
The board adopted an amendment to the superintendent's employment contract to insert a salary schedule and clarify longevity (1% per year), described by a board member as required by the Michigan Office of Retirement Services and the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement Act.
A board member (Speaker 3) moved and the DeWitt Public Schools Board of Education adopted an amendment to the superintendent's employment contract to add a superintendent salary schedule and to clarify the longevity provision. Speaker 3 explained the change was made to meet an obligation to the Michigan Office of Retirement Services and to align with the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement Act.
According to the explanation read into the record, the amendment replaces the contract's compensation paragraph with a table-format salary schedule and retains a longevity provision described in the transcript as paying 1% of the superintendent's base salary for each year of service as a superintendent in Michigan. Speaker 3 said the change is primarily a formatting and compliance update rather than a substantive increase in compensation. The motion was seconded and adopted by voice vote; the transcript records "Aye" responses but does not provide a roll-call tally.
The amendment as described in the meeting is intended to provide the written salary-schedule documentation the Michigan Office of Retirement Services requires; the transcript contains an inconsistent reference to fiscal years during the explanation that is unclear and therefore not restated here.
