(KNZA)-- Two Doniphan County school districts will share a superintendent for the 2016-17 school year.
During a joint special meeting last week, the Doniphan West Board of Education unanimously approved an agreement with the Riverside school district for the sharing of current Riverside USD 114 Superintendent Mike Newman. The Riverside Board also unanimously approved the agreement.
Under the agreement, Riverside will pay for 60 percent and Doniphan West 40 percent of Newman’s salary, insurance, phone and transportation costs, with Riverside providing his vehicle. The two districts will split 50/50 the superintendent’s professional development costs.
His duties will be set out in an agreement provided by both school attorney’s.
The action comes following the resignation of Doniphan West Superintendent Rex Bollinger earlier this month. Bollinger has accepted the position of interim superintendent at Prairie View USD 362 in La Cyngne.
