Hudson School District Superintendent Mary Bowen-Eggebraaten will be earning $159,480 per year. The Board of Education voted 6-1 to grant her an 8.9 percent raise of $13,071.
Hudson School District Superintendent Mary Bowen-Eggebraaten will be earning a $159,480 salary after the Board of Education emerged from closed session Tuesday night and voted 6-1 to grant her an 8.9 percent raise of $13,071. Board member Sandy Gehrke cast the dissenting vote. Over the past few months, Fox Lawson & Associates conducted compensation studies for both administrators and teachers using a group of 31 similar school districts in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The firm used some districts in the pool to compare teachers and another set of districts — with some overlap — to compare administrators. Using the entire pool (minus Eden Prairie), Hudson Patch compared the districts in the report group by enrollment, superintendent salary and …

Two new secondary space solution options discussed by the school board include building one new school and reconfiguring the district from one 6-8 middle school to two 6-9 secondary schools.
Right now, Hudson Middle School is the biggest middle school in Wisconsin in terms of the number of middle-schoolers attending classes in one building. But it might not be that way in the future. Two new options to solve long-term secondary space issues include doing away with the 6-8 middle school concept in favor of two 6-9 secondary schools. The Hudson School District Board of Education on Tuesday voted 6-1 to add two additional options to research and consider to help solve the district's secondary space issues. Board member Sandy Gehrke cast the lone dissenting vote. The additional options were presented as Option P(1) and Option P(2): Option P(1): Construct three-year (10-12) high school -Convert current middle school and high school…
