Officials expect a lame-duck District Board of Education to approve late Wednesday a one-year contract extension for Superintendent Clifford Janey as well as give him a $25,000 bonus, half of what he is eligible to receive under his currentcontract.

Janey, who started his job in 2004, is already the District’s highest-paid employee, making $250,000 per year at a time when the median District household earns $44,949 annually, according to U.S. Census figures. He runs a school system that has 58,000 students, but that number been shrinking in recent decades.
