Contract shows District 21 superintendent gets 6.3% raise
Wheeling Township Elementary District 21 Superintendent Michael Connolly has received a 6.3% raise, under terms of his new employment contract released by the district Tuesday.
Connolly, who was hired at a base salary of $197,500, will make $210,000 this upcoming school year, which school Board President Phil Pritzker says is more in line with the salaries of superintendents across the Northwest suburbs.
Pritzker confirmed this week the new five-year contract approved by the school board guarantees Connolly 2% annual raises, and he is eligible for additional 3% annual performance bonuses.
The contract released Tuesday also stipulates Connolly will get 25 vacation days a year, and 17 sick days a year - four of which are categorized as personal leave.
