Seekonk Superintendent Meyer Gets 3-Year Extension

Seekonk Schools Superintendent Madeline Meyer will be in Seekonk until at least 2015, now that the School Committee has voted to extend her contract for another three years.

“I appreciate the support and trust the school committee has put in me to have me for three additional years,” Meyer said at the School Committee meeting Monday night.

The contract comes on the heels of the committee's mostly positive performance of Meyer earlier this year. Meyer was rated in nine categories and received an average score of three (out of four) in all of them.

The Seekonk Educators’ Association did take issue with the positive evaluation, and released more critical one.

Meyer’s contract, which currently pays her around $131,000, would see her have no raise in the first year of the extension, a 1 percent raise in the second year and a raise of an amount yet to be determined in the third year.
