Pottsgrove Administrators Get 2% Raises


Eighteen Mid-level  Pottsgrove administrators and principals got good news on Tuesday.

Without comment or public discussion, the school board provided 2 percent raises for all of them with school board member Bill Parker casting the sole dissenting vote.

He did not explain why he voted no.

All total, the new salaries for the current year add up to $1.96 million.

According to Gary DeRenzo, the district's director of co-curricular activities and community relations, all the administrators received 2 percent raises.

As such, that means the raises will add $39,200 to the district's payroll.

The highest paid of these administrators is Pottsgrove High School Principal William Ziegler who will earn just shy of $154,000 in the current school year.

Coming in second is Daniel Vorhis, Pottsgrove's director of education and assessment.

These administrators, known as the Act 93 employees for the legislation that covers how they can "meet and discuss" with the board to set their salaries, do not include the district's three top administrators -- Superintendent William Shirk, Assistant Superintendent Robert Harney and Business Manager David Nester, each of whom has their own independent contract with the district.

In January, the board voted to extend Shirk's contract through June, 2021.

The status of Harney's contract is unknown to me and Nester has an ongoing "open-ended" cotnract with Pottsgrove that renews automatically.
