The school boards for the Port Townsend and Chimacum school districts both unanimously approved three-year contracts for their new superintendents last week.
Port Townsend and Chimacum — which launched a novel two-for-two search for a district superintendent by using the same executive headhunting consulting firm last year — announced their final choices at an earlier joint meeting that was held online.
Chimacum School Board members unanimously picked Scott Mauk to lead the district, while their Port Townsend counterparts unanimously selected Linda Rosenbury.
Last week, the school boards met separately to approve the employment contract for their respective superintendent.
Both Rosenbury and Mauk will take over July 1.
Rosenbury’s proposed contract, which runs from July through June 30, 2024, guarantees an initial annual salary of $150,000.
Mauk’s proposed agreement, which also has an initial end date of June 30, 2024, includes a starting salary of $145,000.
The terms of Rosenbury’s contract include 24 days of paid vacation, and is based on 260 workdays minus paid holidays and paid vacation days.
The contract requires an annual evaluation of Rosenbury’s performance in the job, in closed-door executive sessions.
Residency in the district is required, and the employment agreement includes reimbursement of $2,500 in moving expenses.
If the contract will not be extended for an additional year past June 30, 2024, the school board must give written notice by Jan. 31, 2022.
If the board does not provide notice, the contract will automatically renew for three years, every three years, until a termination notice is given.
The employment agreement for Mauk requires 260 days of service each year.
Each year, on or before June 30, the Chimacum School Board will review a potential salary increase.
His contract also provides for an additional amount equal to 5 percent of Mauk’s annual salary to be used for investment of stock or tax-sheltered annuities.
Mauk will also receive 30 days of paid vacation, under the proposed contract, as well as 12 legal holidays that can be taken during his 260 days of annual service.
Any extensions of the contract will be discussed by the board on or around March 1 of each year of the contract, and give notice if the agreement is being extended.
