Gallizzi's assistant superintendent salary was $106,000 and increased to $145,000 when he was first named to the interim post. The board has not set a new deadline for superintendent applications. About 15 people applied by the previous deadline, Oct. 20, but board members were told that there were several people who missed the deadline and wanted to apply. The board is scheduled to meet Jan. 21 and Jan. 30 to further discuss the superintendent search. The district is seeking to replace former Superintendent Jack Gyves, who retired at the end of June. karen.maeshiro@dailynews.com (661) 267-5744 |
