\nEAST MARLBOROUGH \u2014 The Unionville-Chadds Ford School District and Superintendent of Schools John Sanville have reached a tentative agreement on a new four-year contract, school officials announced Monday night during the Board of Education meeting.<\/p>\n

Sanville, whose initial three-year pact was set to expire Sept. 1, would now remain under contract through Aug. 30, 2018, assuming the deal is finalized in the coming weeks. Under the tentative agreement his salary would be set at $210,000 per year, with increases linked to the Act I index \u2014 as an example, the index for the 2014-15 budget is 2.1%, were that index to hold for the next year, his salary would increase to $214,410 for the 2015-16 school year. In addition, under new deal, Sanville would get 10 additional vacation days \u2014 now a total of 30 \u2014 in the new deal.<\/p>\n

The deal is expected to formally ratified by the board at the February board meeting. The full details of the new contract are expected to be posted on the district Website in the coming weeks, prior to the board voting on the pact, board president Victor Dupuis said.<\/p>\n

Sanville deflected praise for his work and said all of the recent success was due to the efforts of many in the district.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is really a referendum on the hard work that everyone in the district does,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a related matter, a number of board members objected to a letter to the editor that was published in The Times<\/em> this past weekend (the letter was also sent to local print publications \u2014 and may be printed there later this week, as well) from Pocopson resident Bruce Yelton.<\/p>\n

Letters to the editor and the greater conversation<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yelton called for Sanville\u2019s dismissal and claimed \u2014 although he did not cite sources for his claims \u2014 that test scores were down, there were morale issues with staff and that the district had mishandled a Right To Know request of his.<\/p>\n

Keith Knauss disputed all of Yelton\u2019s claims, point-by-point.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that Dr. Sanville has shown excellent performance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dupuis agreed, but castigated The Times<\/em> for running the letter without fact-checking and said in the future such letters should presented for review prior to publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
