Superintendent Jeffrey Young recommended the appointment for
two years, at a salary for FY05 of $115,000.
He recounted the search to fill the vacancy and reported that Ms.

significant experience.
Susie Heyman stated that she
welcomed Margery’s strong political skills – an important addition to her
experience and academic background.
Reenie Murphy asked
how salaries were set for Central Staff.
Jeff Young replied that there were three key factors: the market, a candidate’s current salary, and
the salaries of other Central Staff members.
Marc Laredo suggested that it would be appropriate to enlist
some outside expertise to help the system review top salaries for both market
competitiveness and appropriate placement relative to each other based on
responsibilities.
The Committee and Superintendent agreed and Jeff hopes to do
this within the next six months to a year.
