NORMAL – The Unit 5 School Board is extending the contract of Superintendent Kristen Weikle and also giving her a 4% raise after she received a positive performance review.
Weikle has been on the job since early 2020 and has had to guide the district through the COVID-19 pandemic.
For her efforts, the board on Wednesday unanimously approved a 4% pay increase, or $7,400, that will raise her salary this current fiscal year to $192,400.
Weikle is eligible for up to 4% raises in each year of the contract that expires in June of 2025. She initially signed on to a three-year contract.
The contract also calls for Weikle to receive an annual $3,000 stipend to reimburse her for mileage while performing official business.
