Superintendent of Schools Employment Contract
July 1, 2015 – June 30, 2020

The Greenwood School Board of Education believes that a thorough and effective school system is vital in providing the
best educational program for the pupils of the district and the taxpaying citizens who support public schools.

The Greenwood School Board of Education strongly supports the concept that a thorough and effective school system can
only exist if the day to day management of the schools is entrusted to a dedicated and competent person. Good
management relies on the abilities of an individual to perform the responsibilities of the position for which he/she was
hired.

It is therefore incumbent on the Greenwood Board of Directors to pursue a plan of compensation, based on responsibility
and performance, which will provide fair and adequate financial incentive for the superintendent of schools

The plan for compensation was built around the “AASA administrative evaluation model”, which involved a strong
management base concept.

The compensation plan is for salary only. All fringe benefits provided to teachers union members and ACT 93 members
are provided to the superintendent. Additional fringe benefits are included in this contract. The entire Board must vote on
the approved plan for implementation with each contract renewal.

The starting salary shall be $121,000 for the initial year of the contract. The salary increase each year shall be based on
the district superintendent evaluation tool. Each board member will individually evaluate the superintendent’s
performance using the approved tool. The superintendent’s score should be used as a guideline to the board when
determining salary increases in each year of the contract. The Chairperson of the school board personnel committee will
review the summary evaluation with the superintendent. The Board personnel committee chair will review the evaluations
and prepare a summary report. A full report will be presented to the entire Board. The Board will then decide to accept
or change the findings. The superintendent should be notified of the results of the evaluation and the salary increase for
the upcoming year by July 1 of the contracted year.

A satisfactory score of 150 points or higher will result in the Superintendent being eligible for the percentage increase that
is stipulated in most recent Greenwood Education Association Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Superintendent Rating Scale

The Board shall use the average teacher percentage increase from the Greenwood Education Association Collective
Bargaining Agreement to determine the salary increase percentage at the satisfactory rating. The following scoring
ranges should serve as a guideline to the Board:

0-125 = Unsatisfactory
126-149 = Needs Improvement
150-199 = Satisfactory
200- 230 = Exceeds Expectations
231-250 = Superior
