Administrators get 2 percent raise

McCOOK, Nebraska -- Administrators at McCook Public School will get a 2 percent increase in their base pay, contingent on individual performance.

The McCook School Board of Education voted unanimously Monday night at the regular meeting in favor of the 2 percent increase for the 2012-13 year, to be allocated at Superintendent Grant Norgaard's discretion.

Norgaard told the board he will meet with administrators over the summer to set specific goals.

This will include a long-term goal for each individual as well as targeted goals during the course of the year.

The long-term goal for each administrator will be difficult to achieve on one year, he said, but not impossible.
