Board Debates Interim Curriculum Role, Policy Revisions After Statute Concerns

Board members reviewed a proposed interim curriculum supervisor/director stipend and a set of policy updates prompted by recent legislative changes. Administration proposed a temporary stipend ($10,000) for an interim curriculum role to ensure essential functions are covered until a permanent superintendent and staffing plan are in place; several board members asked that the motion include explicit start and end dates and clarity about whether the title should remain "supervisor" or "director." One board member asked that personnel committee review or at least explicit board agreement precede an approval.
