Alonso Given Four Year Contract

Baltimore schools CEO Andrés Alonso has signed on to lead the city school system for four more years, according to school board officials.

After nearly a year of negotiations, Alonso, who came to the city in 2007, signed a $260,000 contract Thursday that includes a monthly $750 car stipend and undetermined performance bonuses for the school system's improvement over the course of the contract. His previous contract expired Thursday.
