(KNZA)--The Hiawatha USD 415 Board of Education has approved a contract with the southeast Kansas man selected to be the district’s new superintendent.

The Board voted unanimously Monday evening to approve a two-year contract with Lonnie Moser who currently serves as K-12 principal and assistant superintendent for Chetopa-St. Paul USD 505.

Moser will begin work in Hiawatha July 1st at an annual salary of $100,000 plus benefits.

He was among three finalists interviewed by the Board last week to replace Dr. Penny Hargrove who is leaving at the end of the current school year to take a job as superintendent of the Mingus Union High School District in Cottonwood, Arizona.

Hargrove has served as superintendent of the Hiawatha school district for five years.

Following an executive session, the Board approved the hiring of Carly Hill as a 3rd grade teacher. Hill will replace Jennifer Herrmann who is resigning at the end of the current school year.

The Board was informed that the premium for employee health insurance will increase 11.9 percent. That will mean an additional cost to the district of $95,000 to $100,000.
