The salary shall be agreed upon at the beginning of each contract term.
In addition to the salary and benefits agreed upon, the superintendent’s actual and necessary expenses will be paid by the school district when the superintendent is performing school business. The expenses include, but are not limited to, mileage and dues to professional organizations.
