Contract Details For Stamford Superintendent Of Schools Released
Dr. Tamu Lucero's new contract will run through June 30, 2024.
STAMFORD, CT — Under a new contract which will run until June 30 2024, Superintendent of Stamford Public Schools Dr. Tamu Lucero will make a base salary of about $295,000, up from $260,000 in her old contract, according to the Stamford Advocate.
But contributions and fringe benefits will push Lucero's yearly pay to around $406,000, the Advocate said.
Details of Lucero's contract were released on Tuesday after it was approved by the Board of Education last week by a vote of 5-4. Democrat Fritz Cherry, and Republicans Joshua Esses, Becky Hamman and Nicola Tarzia voted no.
