The Stephenson County probation office will add a second supervisor position starting in January 2026 after the board approved a reorganization request included in the FY2026 budget.
The probation speaker said the second supervisor position was approved as part of the office's reorganization and will be posted both internally and externally. Minimum qualifications discussed were a master's degree plus one year of experience or a bachelor's degree plus two years of experience. The speaker said the position posting is active and encouraged referrals.
The probation official also said the minimum starting salary for the position as presented in the budget was about $70,002 (quoted in the meeting as $70,001.91 and additional cents), and that the office had managed the increase by making a senior position dormant so the new supervisor's funding would be offset within the department budget.
The board recorded the probation report as part of departmental reports; the hiring action will proceed through normal county posting and hiring processes.
