TAVARES The Lake County School Board unanimously approved a new four-year contract for Superintendent Diane Kornegay on Monday night, with an annual 1% pay raise beginning in 2022.
The contract will take effect on July 1, the start of the school s new fiscal year, but will result in no immediate change to Kornegay s current $195,000 salary. She will receive raises the following three years.
School Board Chairman Bill Mathias told the board at its biweekly meeting that the superintendent has not received a raise in six years, dating to when Susan Moxley oversaw Lake County Schools. Moxley served from 2008 until 2017, when Kornegay, 57, was hired.
