The Hamilton Southeastern Schools Board of Trustees is scheduled to hold a public hearing and vote Wednesday, April 29, on a contract for the district’s next superintendent.

District officials have not publicly identified the candidate, but key terms of the proposed contract have been released through a required public notice.

The agreement calls for a base salary of $205,000 annually, with a term running through June 30, 2028. The contract also allows for potential annual increases of up to $20,000 based on performance and board approval.

The salary is slightly lower than that of former Superintendent Patrick Mapes, whose annual pay was $215,000.

Under the proposed contract, the superintendent would receive a retirement contribution equal to 10 percent of salary into a 403(b) plan, a tax-deferred retirement account commonly used by public education employees and similar to a private-sector 401(k).

Additional compensation includes a $500 monthly automobile allowance and a $100 monthly technology allowance.

The public hearing is set for 5:30 p.m. April 29 at the HSE Central Office, with the board expected to vote on the contract following the hearing.
