Hoosac Valley panel approves superintendent pay, leave and device allowance changes
Summary
The Hoosac Valley Regional School Committee unanimously approved changes to the superintendent’s contract — including salary increases (2% then 3% in subsequent years), a boost in vacation days, retroactive pay to July 1, and a $100 monthly local travel allowance — after legal counsel raised no objections.
The Hoosac Valley Regional School Committee voted unanimously Jan. 12 to approve proposed revisions to the superintendent’s contract that increase pay and adjust benefits.
Under the changes approved by the committee, the superintendent’s salary will rise 2% for the current year and 3% for each of the next two years; the increases are retroactive to July 1. The contract also raises annual vacation from 25 to 30 days, replaces a district-issued phone with a mobile device allowance, and establishes a $100 monthly local travel allowance with mileage reimbursement for non-local travel. Legal counsel reviewed the proposed terms and reported no objections.
"To approve the proposed superintendent contract changes as presented," the committee recorded in its vote. The motion was made by John Duval and seconded by Tracey Tierney; the vote was unanimous.
Committee members discussed public records considerations tied to the shift from a district-issued phone to a personal device allowance and acknowledged counsel’s guidance on those implications. The changes were presented as a complete package and approved without recorded dissent.
The vote formalizes the committee’s personnel and compensation approach for the superintendent and will be reflected in the district’s administrative contract records.
