PITTSBURGH — The superintendent of the Pittsburgh Public Schools system has turned down a $20,000 raise, the second time in as many years that she's refused a pay hike.

Linda Lane rejected the raise after the school board voted to approve it by an 8-1 vote Wednesday night. The raise was for the 2013 calendar year. She also refused a $15,000 raise for the 2012 calendar year.

Lane's salary will remain $200,000 for next year.

The district has long been dealing with financial problems, and has sent out more than 200 furlough notices in a district with roughly 2,200 unionized teachers and other professionals.

The furloughs and other cuts were made to help the district, which is struggling with a shrinking enrollment, save about $29 million annually.
