WESTERN TREASURE VALLEY — You see them everywhere these days: “Help wanted” signs. They’re in the windows at restaurants, grocery stores, offices and warehouses, and on billboards throughout town. And
Paul Kaiser is the next superintendent of Westfield Washington Schools and he will start almost immediately.
At a special meeting, the board approved Kaiser’s hiring in a vote of 5-0. Although originally expected to start in July, Kaiser will begin the new role on Wednesday.
Per a public notice previously published by the school district, his annual base salary will be $185,000. Additionally, he will receive $12,000 in annual stipends plus insurance and retirement benefits at an estimated cost of more than $60,000 for a total package of more than $257,000 in the first year.
But Kaiser wasn’t the only central office leadership hire made Tuesday night. At the same meeting the board also approved the hiring of John Atha as assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. Atha starts Wednesday as well and his base salary is $150,000 per year, per spokesperson Joshua Andrews.
