WVIK, Quad Cities NPR | By Herb Trix

A contract extension for the superintendent is on tonight's agenda for the Davenport School Board. The current contract for Art Tate continues through next June (2016), and if the board approves, it will continue for two additional years (2018).

Doctor Tate became superintendent in 2011.
The proposed contract extension also sets his salary at 203,000 dollars a year.
