4/23/14 - It appears as through Howell Superintendent Ron Wilson is no longer in the running for a job in west Michigan and will remain with the district at least for the time being. In a posting on a social media site, Wilson announced that he did not make the final cut for the Muskegon Area Intermediate School District position, saying he was rather disappointed, but not devastated. He interviewed recently and says the board decided to do second interviews with two candidates that have ISD experience but thanked the community for all of its support. Wilsonâs contract with Howell was extended through 2017. There was a public show of support for Wilson to receive increased compensation while he sought employment in the west Michigan district, with some expressing frustration because the school board had not yet come to an agreement on a new contract with Wilson. Wilsonâs total compensation package is $209,000. Heâs seeking an increase to his base salary from $155,000 to just under $174,000, which he says would be congruent with what former Superintendent Chuck Breiner was earning in 2008. He is also seeking an annual 3% cost of living increase. A Board of Education committee has been working on possible contract proposal, but nothing has been formally presented. The Board of Education will hold its regularly scheduled meeting Monday at 7pm in the administration board room on Highlander Way. (JM)
