The Chappaqua Board of Education and Superintendent David Fleishman have reached an agreement on a three-year contract extension.
Fleishman, who will begin his fourth year as the district’s superintendent, will see his salary rise to $255,000, from $240,692. The contract also calls for salary increases for the 2009 - 2010 and 2010 - 2011 school years, effective July 15 of each respective school year, in an amount to be determined by the board by June 15 immediately preceding each new school year. This contract retains the prior contract’s $500 per month car allowance.
The agreement includes an increase from $10,000 to $15,000 in the school district’s non-elective direct payment into the superintendent’s 403(b) tax shelter. Fleishman’s monthly premium contribution for his health insurance for individual and dependents under the Northern Westchester-Putnam Schools Consortium will rise from five percent to ten percent.
Janet Benton, president of the board of education, commented, “The board is really pleased to have Dr. Fleishman continue to lead the district for the next three years. He has performed well in all aspects of his job. He is a strong educational leader, working closely with Deputy Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Lyn McKay and our building principals, to ensure the highest quality of teaching in our classrooms. He is constantly in our schools – talking to teachers and working with students. He has built strong relationships throughout the district – with staff, parents, PTA leaders and board members. We believe David is the right person to lead Chappaqua for the next three years.”
