The Lincoln Board of Education will consider the proposed contract for new superintendent Paul Gausman at their regular meeting on Tuesday, March 8.
The contract is a 3 year agreement with a base annual salary of $324,000. At Lincoln Public Schools there are no additional compensation benefits in the superintendent contract for things like annuities, bonuses, incentives, or performance pay.
“We are fortunate to have found a quality superintendent candidate who has been nationally honored and recognized for his work in improving the academic quality and educational outcomes for all students,” says Board President Connie Duncan. “Gausman has a track record of success with improving the graduation rate and engaging the community by building partnerships to expand educational opportunities. This agreement recognizes his wealth of experience, his longevity in education and the leadership skills he possesses.”
The contract also indicates that other benefits like health insurance and leave will be in line with the other administrators in Lincoln Public Schools. The total estimated compensation of $383,591 excludes the legally required employer contributions towards state retirement, FICA and Medicare.
