Logan schools chief receives two-year deal

The Logan Municipal Schools board of education last week approved a new, two-year contract with its superintendent.

Dennis Roch’s pact runs through June 30, 2024, with an annual salary of $125,000, he stated in an email. That is a raise of nearly $12,000.

The board’s decision to award him a new contract was unanimous, he said.

“I am very grateful for the board’s continuing support and for the opportunity to keep serving the students and families of Logan,” Roch stated in the email. “I’m pleased to serve alongside a talented faculty and staff, who help ensure that Logan remains among the best schools in the state!”

Roch, a former representative in the New Mexico Legislature, has been Logan’s superintendent since 2013.
