The West Windsor-Plainsboro Board of Education will hold its annual public hearing on the contracts for its superintendent and assistant superintendents on Tuesday, June 14.
The board will hold a public hearing on the terms and conditions of the contracts with Victoria Kniewel, the school district’s superintendent; Larry Shanok, the assistant superintendent for finance/board secretary; and David Aderhold, the assistant superintendent for pupil services and planning.
The board holds this public hearing every year, as mandated by state law. Many times, the contracts remain unchanged. However, there is no word whether there are any changes this year to the contracts in place with the three administrators.
The contracts for Shanok and Aderhold, however, will expire on Thursday, June 30. Currently, Shanok’s salary is $165,854. Aderhold makes $144,000.
According to Gerri Hutner, the district’s director of communications, officials are working on the contracts, but the information will not be released until it is finalized on Friday, June 10. After the public hearing on Tuesday, June 14, the board will vote on the contracts on Tuesday, June 28.
Last June, the board approved a four-year contract extension for Kniewel, whose contract would have expired on June 30. The extension keeps her contract in place until June 30, 2015.
Kniewel’s salary was frozen for the 2010-’11 school year at $192,676. Last year, Kniewel asked that 1.5 percent of her base salary be contributed toward her health insurance costs beginning last July, rather than waiting until the mandated date of July 1, 2012, as required by state law.
