SEQUIM — The Sequim School District Board of Directors have came to an agreement on the contract for interim superintendent Rob Clark.

Clark, who was in attendance for the special meeting late last month, started his lead administrator role last Monday after finishing duties at the Milton- Freewater (Ore.) School District.

The contract, which runs through June 30, 2020, was agreed to unanimously by the three board members present, with directors Heather Short and Robin Henrikson absent.

Clark’s base salary will be $155,000.

In addition to his pay, Clark will receive 30 vacation days, 10 of which he can cash out if he’s unable to use them. The district will also provide $800 per month for the duration of Clark’s contract to a tax-deferred retirement plan.

Other benefits include a $600-per-month travel reimbursement to help cover costs of commuting from Port Ludlow and various meetings and functions across the region, and a $50-per-month cellphone reimbursement.
