Superintendent Tony Lake has spent three years at the helm of Lindbergh Schools and is set to lead the district for at least another three after the Board of Education extended his contract through 2024.
After getting voter approval for a $105 million no-tax-rate-increase bond issue to build a new Lindbergh High School, Lake said he is now looking ahead to what the district needs in the future financially and facilities-wise and how to fund both of those missions.
The board voted unanimously Jan. 12 to extend Lake’s contract by another year, so he is on contract with Lindbergh through June 30, 2024.
For the 2021-2022 school year, Lake will be paid $227,136 in base salary, plus mileage and district-funded health insurance. That’s up from $200,000 when he started three years ago. Lake’s raise each of the next two years could range from 2-10 percent, but he doesn’t get a raise if teachers don’t. The district is also paying into two pension funds for Lake.
