The Prairie Grove School District 46 Board approved four administrator contracts at its meeting Tuesday night, with salary increases included in all of them. Director of Student Services Rachel Keesey is set to make $115,122 in the 2020-21 school year under her new contract. This is up $24,512 from what she made last year, according to the administrator and teacher salary and benefits report from August 2019. Superintendent John Bute said Keesey will be working more days as part of the contract, going from 215 days to 260 days a year. Bute said Keesey had been working those extra days and those hours without the compensation, so this new contract then corrects the number of days she worked. “If you did the math on it on the number of days worked one year to the number of days worked the next year, it’s the same 2½% pay raise we recommended for all administrative contracts on the docket tonight,” Bute said at Tuesday’s meeting. Keesey’s job description was modified to reflect these changes at Tuesday’s meeting as well. Because the district withdrew from the Special Education District of McHenry County, the director of student services is now required to be the person who made all the reports to the state. “There was a lot of work and meetings that take place in the summer time,” Bute said. Chief Financial Officer Kevin Werner, who made $127,920 in the 2019 school year, according to the salary and benefits report, will have a salary of $134,395 for 2020-2021 under the new contract. Elementary principal Martha Maggiore is set to receive a salary increase of $5,376 from what she made in the 2019 school year.
