Borough Officials Approve $2.2 Million School Administrators Contract
Administrators at Naugatuck High School will forgo raises in the 2011-12 school year, although will receive 2.5 percent increases in the two years following.
In reaching an agreement on a $2.2 million contract that increases over a two-year period, the administrators at the Naugatuck public schools are foregoing any raises in the 2011-12 school year, according to the contract that was finalized last week.
The three-year agreement between the Board of Education and the Naugatuck Administrative Negotiating Association — or the administrators’ union — goes into effect on July 1, 2011, and runs until June 30, 2014. In the first year, 2011-12, the administrators of the Naugatuck public school system will be paid $2.2 million from the salary line item budget. This is the same salary they were paid in the 2010-11 school year.
Then, in the 2012-13 school year, the administrators’ union will see a 2.5 percent increase to the general wages as well as a .31 anticipated step increment — which is an increase based on seniority. The balance that year is $2.3 million

The Board of Mayor and Burgesses took no action on the contract during a meeting on Feb. 1, meaning the contract goes into effect for the 2011-2014 school years. The board — which was the last step in the approval process — could either reject he contract or take no action against it, but could not vote to approve it.
The Board of Education and the administrators’ union already voted to approve the contract.
In a public comment session at the end of the meeting, Burgess Robert Neth voiced his disapproval, saying he would have voted against the contract on principal. Neth was the only burgess to voice his stance.
