CARMEL, Ind. – Carmel Clay Schools' superintendent was placed on administrative leave Monday.
Nicholas Wahl served as the superintendent of the district for more than four years, and took over as chief administrator in August 2013.
In his role as superintendent, Wahl makes a base salary of $195,000 and receives benefits that gives him a monthly vehicle allowance, among others.
Wahl’s contract expires July 2018 with an automatic extension for an additional year, unless otherwise noted. However, the contract terms state the district can end Wahl’s employment “for cause.”
"In doing so, we thought it would be best and it would go more efficiently and effectively if Dr. Wahl was on administrative leave. And that's all we can share at this moment," said school board President Layla Spanenberg.
