The West Windsor-Plainsboro school board unanimously approved a contract with Superintendent Victoria Kniewel, which gives her a 4 percent raise.##M:[more]##
Under the terms of the new contract, Kniewel’s salary will be increased to $186,”150, up from $179,”000 last year. The salary will be retroactive to July 1.
The approval came September 23 after a public hearing, as state law mandates a public hearing on the contracts for the superintendent and the assistant superintendents every year. In June, the board held a hearing on the details of the contract, but Kniewel’s new salary had not been determined at that time.
The contract with Kniewel was signed in 2007, and is in place through 2011. “The board agrees to review Dr. Kniewel’s salary at the conclusion of each school year of employment, and at least annually thereafter,” the contract states. “The parties agree that future salary determination by the board will be based on her performance evaluation.” The contract also establishes Kniewel’s sick leave, benefit packages, and establishes her duties.
