BRIDGEPORT — A pair of principals in the Bridgeport Exempted Village School District were rewarded Wednesday with new contracts for their work with the students.

Elementary Principal Kamaron Sabinski and middle school Principal Anne Haverty each received a five-year deal during the regular monthly board of education meeting, which was held inside the administration building and via Zoom. Each of the five board members, along with Superintendent Brent Ripley, Treasurer Matt King and Assistant Treasurer Eric Meininger abided by the 6-foot social distancing restriction.

Ripley said Sabinski’s contract is worth $94,000 yearly, while Haverty will earn $85,000 annually.
