After the vote, Ms. Lane said that she and the top academic team will forgo pay raises.The decision comes as the district has made unprecedented teacher furloughs and tackles a budget deficit.Ms. Lane said the decision is in recognition of the serious fiscal problems the district face and a statement of support "for the district and those who aren't with us. We lost a lot of good folks."Ms. Lane's contract calls for a raise of $5,000 each year as well as a bonus of $10,000 each year if certain performance goals are met. For 2012, she was eligible for the full $15,000. But for 2013, she was not eligible for the bonus amount because state test scores dropped.
Back to the bubble, our super Super gets raises every year. Dale Ostergaard concluded, "I am also normally conservative when it comes to raises, but I think in this particular case with a single individual Dr. Steinhauer is very deserving."
Yes, he is very deserving. As I commented in my last thread about grinding and a 16 year old girl who was carried off the dance floor and taken to St. Clair and then later to Children's Hosptal because she was drunk, the PG story was the number one emailed story according to the PG.
Just last month, Mt. Lebanon School District was recognized in the PG story, PSSA results come up short in Mt. Lebanon, Bethel Park. Goal number four 4. Student Achievement – The Superintendent will maintain or improve student achievement. We can get another warning label from PA and Timmy will be maintaining student achievement. Yes, he is very deserving, Dale.
The number one superintendent in the state, Dr. Patrick O'Toole voluntarily froze his salary as well as the financial director's salary. Certainly Dale, O'Toole is very deserving.
I guess I shouldn't be so harsh with Dr. Steinhauer. I actually got a response from his office the other day to an email I sent.
Finally, I got a response from an email I sent to the board.Fwd: Your website

Still nothing for the Extra Mile Award. If you just cut and paste from
the Board President's Reports, my request is a rather simple one to
fulfill.

When do you plan to update your website?
Extra Mile Award is from January 2012.
Superintendent Board Reports are from April 2012.
Board President Reports are from March 2012.
Superintendent Goals are from last year?
The agenda for Monday's meeting was finally posted on Monday morning.
Is this Cissy Bowman's responsibility?

Response from Tim Steinhauer While all hell was breaking loose over grinding at dances, Tim is enjoying his very deserving additional vacation days. Does an automated response from his office satisfy goal number five, Superintendent Performance Goals 2012-2013? Tim is well on his way for an increase next year.
Update October 25, 2012 1:30 PM Timothy Steinhauer's contract is available here. It is from June 8, 2009. It does not reflect his current salary, contract extension or additional vacation days. Article V permits him to undertake consulting work during his vacation days or with prior written approval from the Board. In other words, any time he wants.

Dale, is Timmy on vacation again, or is he off consulting for a price, at another school district?
Dr. Lane is a class act, and she can kick a football way better than Dr. Timmy.
9:59 AM, are you saying Timmy has a gig on the side?

Dr. Steinhauer's contract allows consulting fees from others meaning he does not need to devote !00% of his time to the Mount Lebanon School District.
WHAT???? Could someone tell me where to find this in his contract? I would love to see it spelled out.
He is definitely in this for the money. Disgusting.

The Superintendent’s Goals 3 and 5 are,
3. Strategic Plan – The Superintendent will implement strategies to accomplish the goals established by the new Strategic Plan.
5. Collaboration/Communication – The Superintendent will collaborate and engage members of the school community
Goal number 5 only engages members of the school community, or just staff, students, and parents.
Apparently engaging the community is not a goal until they want more taxes or an endowment-capital campaign. This behavior is evident when the board is addressed on the agenda or at the end of a meeting. When students, staff and parents come to speak they are given all the time they need to finish their presentation. When the public comes to speak the 4-5-minute clock starts to run. That is very poor public relations on the part of the Board.
I updated this thread by adding Tim Steinhauer's 2009 contract. He had accumulated 70 sick days on his first day of work. Also, with four day work weeks in the summer, Timmy can take the entire month of July off without using all his vacation days. Not bad for a guy who got his on the job training here as superintendent. Yep, very deserving.

I'm having trouble figuring out the contract verbiage.
Does the "prior written approval of the Board" apply to both "personal vacation time" AND "other times", or just "other times"?
