Commissioner's Salary
| To: | Members of the Board of Education |
| From: | Paul Reville, Chairman, Board of Education |
| Date: | February 26, 2008 |
The Board of Education voted on January 17, 2008, to appoint Mitchell Dan Chester as Commissioner of Education. Under Mass. General Laws chapter 15, section 1F, "the commissioner shall receive a salary to be set by the board." Following the Board's vote in January, I began discussions with Dr. Chester about setting a salary level for him as well as the terms and conditions of his employment. I am pleased to report that we have negotiated a very appropriate agreement, subject to the Board's approval. The terms are as set forth in the attached draft letter to Dr. Chester.
Given the significant responsibilities that Dr. Chester will be assuming as Commissioner, I am recommending that the Board set his salary at an annual rate of $206,000, effective May 19, 2008. A motion to that effect is attached.
