Vernon Schools Chief Gets New Contract

VERNON, CT — The Vernon Board of Education Tuesday approved a new three-year contract for Superintendent of Schools Joseph Macary.

The deal calls for Macary to sign on for three more years, but, as has become customary, just his 2022-2023 compensation total was penciled in. That number is $205,566.

The other salary figures will be announced on a year-to-year basis, according to the contract. The contract does stipulate that, "under no circumstances," will his salary for years 2 and 3 be lower than the first year's compensation.

A $15,000 annuity is also included in the package.

"I want to thank the Vernon Board of Education for its support and continued confidence run me," Macary said. "I am grateful for a new three-year contract."

Macary gets 25 vacation days a year, 20 of which must be used and cannot be accumulated. Sick days total 20 and personal days total five.

He will be evaluated annually and termination can only come after 90 days notice, according to the terms.
