Vernon School District joins list of superintendents with pay raises

By Charlotte Helston INFOTEL-Multimedia May 05, 2015 - 2:31 PM
VERNON - Despite tight financial times, the Vernon School District’s superintendent was granted a raise last year, the first for that position since 2006. Joe Rogers is one of at least two other Okanagan superintendents (Kelowna's Hugh Gloster and Penticton's Wendy Hyer) to receive a fatter salary after the Ministry of Education lifted a restriction on wage increases for the position. All other administrative wages remain frozen. School District 22 Board Chair Kelly Smith says the decision to increase his salary was made in October 2014. Rogers has 30 years of experience in education, some of it in the Vernon School District, and was hired as the superintendent in 2013. His salary was about $123,000 that year. The exact wage increase has not been discussed at a public meeting and is therefore not being made public at this time, Smith says. (more)
