Board approves four‑year contract for superintendent Mr. Silver
Summary
The Norris School District board approved a four‑year employment contract for Superintendent Mr. Silver after negotiators reported a settlement that raised his base pay; trustees praised his leadership and voted to adopt the agreement.
The Norris School District board approved a four‑year employment contract for Superintendent Mr. Silver following a closed‑session negotiation and a public report out. Board members said they reviewed regional salary comparisons and found the superintendent’s compensation was low relative to similar districts, and they agreed to a new salary schedule with a new base pay beginning at $25,360, as stated at the meeting.
Board members praised the superintendent’s leadership and contributions to the district’s special‑education placements, student re‑engagement efforts and regional collaboration. One trustee said he had watched Mr. Silver “grow up” with district families and described him as “overly qualified” for the role; another called him “the leader” of a large operation.
After brief comments by multiple trustees, the board moved to approve the contract and adopted the agreement by voice vote. The motion passed with no recorded opposition.
The board’s public materials and the report given at the meeting list the new base pay number as presented to trustees; the transcript did not specify whether that figure is a monthly or other periodic amount. The board did not discuss additional implementation details at the time of the vote.
Next steps: the board approved the contract in open session and the superintendent will continue in his role under the new four‑year agreement. Any future amendments would require board action.
