The Mahomet-Seymour School Board will hold a special meeting Thursday to discuss a salary increase in Superintendent Lindsey Hall’s contract.
Hall entered into a 5-year agreement with the Mahomet-Seymour in 2018.
Beginning July 1, 2018, Hall’s salary increased from $187,960 to $193,223. Scheduled raises over the following four years included $198,633, $204,195, $209,912 and $215,790 the final year of her contract in 2023.
On April 15, the board will go into closed session to discuss a base salary of $214,404.75 (a $4492.75 increase) from July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022 and $225,124.99 (a 9334.99 increase) from July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023.
Additional changes to Hall’s contract include language in:
Section 4, “Pension”:
“However, if legislation or a rule change is enacted that limits the employer’s ability to perform its obligations, or otherwise reduces its obligations, under this paragraph, the Board shall pay the difference to the Superintendent as salary to the extent the Board’s total cost for salary and pick up of the TRS contribution equals the Board’s total cost before enactment of such legislation or rule change. The Board’s and Superintendent’s implementation herein shall be in implementation of this provision of this Contract and shall not constitute or require an amendment to this Contract;”
Section 8, “Extension of Term”:
“At the time of the Superintendent’s final evaluation and assessment under this Contract, which shall occur no later than February 1, 2023, the Board and Superintendent shall engage in discussions from which the parties may mutually agree to extend the employment of the Superintendent for a period not to exceed five (5) years. If the Board determines not to extend the Contract, the Board shall notify Superintendent in writing in accordance with 105 ILCS 5/10-21.4 so that Superintendent receives the notice not later than February 1, 2023;”
Section 15, “Vacation”:
“The Superintendent shall be entitled to twenty (20) working days of vacation annually, in each year of this Contract, exclusive of legal holidays. Vacation shall be taken subject to approval of the Board and shall be taken within twelve (12) months of the year in which it is earned. Prior to the end of the 2020-2021 contract year, the Superintendent may exchange any unused vacation days (including partial days thereof) for a cash payment at her per diem rate up to such amount that would allow a 6% increase in TRS creditable earnings from the previous contract year. In subsequent contract years, any unused vacation days shall be used as vacation time or lost on July 1 of the Contract year.”
The Board of Education plans to go into closed session before additional discussion and action in open session.
