Red Wing School Board briefs

Board votes on salaries

Red Wing School Board members voted 5-0 Monday to approve a salary of $71,967 for Interim Director of Community Education, Recreation and Communications Dawn Wettern through June 30.

The salary pays for an additional 20 days of work this year and a monthly stipend of $2,500 for Wettern’s work as interim director.

The board also approved a salary of $80,000-$98,000 for the community education director beginning July 1, in addition to authorizing Supt. Karsten Anderson to post for a director of teaching and learning position at a salary range of $90,000-$120,000.

Board will evaluate Anderson

Supt. Karsten Anderson asked board members Monday to take a survey evaluating his work with the district up to this point. The survey also will be given to administrators in Red Wing schools.
