Under the agreement, the district will contribute $26,000 annually to two supplemental retirement plans on Reilly’s behalf, with contributions to each plan increasing by $1,000 annually until they reach the maximum amounts allowed under the agreement. The contributions took effect Jan. 1, 2026.
The salary increase is the first amendment to his contract, according to the staff report. Reilly began at the lowest step of the salary schedule for his position and is moving to the second step with this pay increase.
