BUTLER TWP — Butler County Community College President Nick Neupauer will be around for a few more years.

The BCCC board of trustees today renewed his contract, which was to expire June 30.

His contract continues until changed by the board.

"This was our way of showing the confidence we have in Dr. Neupauer as president of BC3," said board chairman Ray Steffler in a statement. "We are pleased with the direction he has taken the college."

Under the terms of the agreement, Neupauer's salary will increase from $142,154 to $159,000.

Neupauer was appointed as the eighth president Aug. 1, 2007, taking the office left by Cynthia Azari when she left for a job in California.
