The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District Board of Education unanimously approved the employment contract for incoming Superintendent Anthony Limoges during its regular meeting on June 16. Limoges, who most recently served as associate superintendent of human resources at Rocklin Unified School District for eight years, will assume his new role on July 1.
The contract includes a starting base salary of $329,000 for 220 working days, with potential step increases totaling 12% by July 2028, contingent on positive performance evaluations every six months. Additional benefits include a $250,000 life and long-term disability insurance policy, health insurance coverage comparable to that of the Livermore Management Association, and an annual stipend for advanced degrees.
Board members praised Limoges' experience and character, with Trustee Christiaan VandenHeuvel noting the unanimous decision was a relief. During public comment, Livermore Education Association President Aimee Thompson raised concerns about disparities in benefits between the superintendent and rank-and-file employees, such as life insurance and dues coverage.
Parent Tara Boyce also questioned the salary growth pace compared to other employee groups and neighboring districts. Limoges expressed gratitude, emphasizing his focus on students and family.
The three-year contract runs through June 30, 2029, with possible extensions.
