The school board voted to approve an agreement to pay Shaffer $742.50 per day with no benefits or additional pension contribution. About $250 of the daily rate will be paid to the Bucks County Intermediate Unit, which has coordinated the interim superintendent job.
Minniti is leaving the Bristol Borough School District after joining in summer 2019. He was hired by the New Hope-Solebury School Board in August for the newly-created position of assistant superintendent.
Shaffer told LevittownNow.com when he retired that he wanted to catch up on reading and travel. He has worked as a teacher an administrator and also a volunteer firefighter.

In other business, the school board swore in a new member to fill the role of member Nunzio DeMarchis, who resigned last month.
Andrew Smith was sworn in as the newest board member to fill DeMarchis’ seat. Dorie Morgan was in the running, but she did not receive support from the majority of the board.
