The Hart board will look at approving a new contact for the current Hart Superintendent Michael Kuhlman to be effective July 1, 2023.

Kuhlman has served as Hart District Superintendent since March 1, 2020. His original base salary was $238,000 in 2020. In October 2021 it increased to $245,140 based on a 3% base increase to match other employee groups.

Kuhlman’s salary increased to $254,946 = 4% base increase to match increase to other employee groups on May 18, 2022 and to $280,440 = 10% base increase to match increase to other employee groups on Feb. 1, 2023.

The new three-year contact before the board will keep Kuhlman’s salary at $280,440, but he would continue to be entitled to receive future base salary increases when approved for other certificated management employees of the District.

In addition to other personnel considerations the board will also consider recommendations for textbooks and instructional materials for district high schools and junior highs.
