Broward Superintendent Howard Hepburn could remain the district’s schools chief for another five years.
On Tuesday, Board Chairman Debbi Hixon and the superintendent reached a tentative contract agreement, which would extend his contract to June 30, 2030. His current contract expires on June 30, 2027.
Hepburn’s annual base salary of $340,000 will remain the same. And he’s eligible to receive the same annual raises as other district employees. The school board recently approved 3% employee raises, growing Hepburn’s salary to $350,200.
The contract also removes the requirement that Hepburn move to Broward County. He lives in West Palm Beach.
