Poway Unified School District trustees approved a contract extension for Superintendent John Collins Wednesday.
Collins, one of the highest-paid superintendents in the county, will likely receive an increase to his base pay to $297,735 from $235,000, according to contract documents being discussed by the school board.
The vote was 4-1 with Kimberley Beatty voting against the extension.
One of the largest districts in the county, the Poway school district has a $250 million annual budget and more than 35,000 students.
