Board approves 8% raise for County Superintendent, retroactive to July 1, 2022
Summary
The Colusa County Board of Education voted unanimously to raise County Superintendent Michael West’s salary by 8%, making the increase retroactive to July 1, 2022. Trustees said the hire‑market analysis showed the move would make the salary competitive with contiguous counties.
The Colusa County Board of Education voted unanimously on August 10, 2022, to increase the County Superintendent’s salary by 8%, retroactive to July 1, 2022. Trustee Ed Conrado presented an analysis recommending the raise to bring the superintendent’s pay in line with neighboring counties; Trustee Cristy Edwards argued the increase would help retain the superintendent and make the position competitive.
Conrado moved the recommendation and Charlie Morrow seconded; the motion carried unanimously. Board discussion noted that the superintendent’s pay lacks the typical step and column increases that apply to other staff, and members characterized the 8% as a starting step toward parity. The action was recorded as a formal motion and approved during the August 10 meeting.
