NORTH STONINGTON — A signed school-administrators agreement posted by the town sets three years of salary schedules beginning July 1, 2027, giving residents a look at future compensation for principals and other district leaders.
The agreement between the Board of Education and the North Stonington Federation of School Administrators runs through June 30, 2030. Its signature page is dated October 20, 2026, for the board and October 19 for the federation; the municipal announcement was posted October 21.
For 2027–28, the four-step salary schedule lists $170,281 to $179,106 for the high school/middle school principal, $162,713 to $172,910 for the elementary principal, $149,303 to $163,520 for the director of student services, and $147,765 to $161,982 for an associate principal.
By 2029–30, the corresponding schedule ranges are $179,775 to $189,093 for the high school/middle school principal, $171,785 to $182,551 for the elementary principal, $160,752 to $175,762 for the director of student services, and $156,004 to $171,014 for an associate principal.
These are negotiated position-and-step schedules, not a verified payroll roster or a statement of what each current employee will receive. The agreement allows the superintendent to hire new bargaining-unit members at up to step four of the applicable schedule. Eastern CT News has not established current employees’ step placements or calculated the district’s total added cost.
The contract also provides a $2,000 contribution in each contract year to a board-approved tax-sheltered annuity selected by each administrator, tied to activities outside the workplace such as community events. It is in addition to regular salary and is prorated when an employee serves for only part of a contract year.
The employment-year provision specifies 220 workdays. Work required beyond that year needs advance written superintendent approval and is paid at the individual administrator’s daily rate of one two-hundred-twentieth of salary.
