CFO/Treasurer Catherine Bulgrin voluntarily froze her wages to her current salary for next school year.
Stow-Munroe Falls School District CFO/Treasurer Catherine Bulgrin voluntarily froze her wages Jan. 24 even though the Board of Education approved a new five-year contract with a raise in December. Bulgrin's salary will now remain at her current level next school year, about $106,000 annually. The contract the school board approved would have given her a 2.95 percent raise. Figuring in some supplimental compensation and the raise, her salary would have increased to about $109,000, she said. Now, her voluntary concession will save the district about $3,000. In the board-approved contract, the treasurer would have only receive an additional raise if the collective bargaining employees got a raise. "I want to formally thank [the board] for …

Board of Education President Pat Matthews expands on contract details.
by Pat Matthews It has been brought to my attention that the readers may have misunderstood the details of the Stow-Munroe Falls City School District Treasurer’s recently approved contract.

It is my opinion that her performance has been exemplary. The …

Boardmembers Karen Powers, Pat Matthews and Board President Karen Wright voted in favor of the contract. Boardmembers Dick Spangler and Denny Mariola cast dissenting votes.

Bulgrin's new contract begins Aug. 1 and expires July 31, 2016. The treasurer will only receive an additional raise if the collective bargaining employees get a raise, according to the contract.
