Warren school board approves pay raise for superintendent

WARREN — The Warren school board has approved a 2 percent pay raise for Superintendent Dr. Kathryn Hellweg that brings her pay to $121,766 per year.

Robert Faulkner, board president, said the increase was approved at a retreat on Tuesday and gives the superintendent the same 2 percent pay increase other school district employees got for the 2008-2009 school year.

One exception is that the board approved picking up for the first time Hellweg’s share of her Medicaid cost: $1,765 this year.

Faulkner said the board also agreed to pick up the Medicaid cost for Treasurer Angela Lewis this year.

Faulkner said the decision to grant Hellweg’s pay increase from $117,376 to $121,766 came about after board members conducted its annual evaluation.
