CARPENTERSVILLE – District 300 Superintendent Michael Bregy kept his promise of getting his doctorate, and the board rewarded him with a two-year contract extension that includes a $25,000 raise.

The district board approved, 6-0, the extension last week, shortly after endorsing the new, three-year teachers’ contract. Bregy now will receive a $200,000 annual salary through June 2017.

He had been earning $175,000, after officially starting July 2011 as superintendent for the sixth-largest school district in the state, which covers portions of McHenry and Kane counties. His original contract expires in 2015.
