Board approves Northpointe ESC contract and hires assistant athletic director as athletics duties restructured
Summary
Fremont City School Board approved a contract with Northpointe Educational Service Center and hired Jordan Mackey as assistant athletic director; the superintendent described reworking supplemental roles into a full‑time position and said an athletic trainer position will be posted through Northpointe.
The Fremont City School Board voted to approve a contract with the Northpointe Educational Service Center and approved a set of personnel changes that include hiring Jordan Mackey as assistant athletic director.
Superintendent (speaker identified in the transcript at the start of the superintendent report) told trustees the change follows planned retirements and is intended to consolidate duties previously carried by supplemental contracts into a full‑time staff position. "This was a position, administrative position that we have added... we will be eliminating those supplemental contracts and adding a full time staff member," the superintendent said, describing the plan to fill gaps left by long‑time holders of supplemental roles.
Nut graf: the contract and hires are operational decisions intended to maintain athletic and student services after several long‑time supplemental staff retire; the district also is posting an athletic trainer through Northpointe to ensure medical coverage for student athletes.
Details on the hire and restructuring: the superintendent introduced Jordan Mackey, noting he currently serves as a program supervisor for the City of Fremont Recreation Department and has coached multiple sports. "He brings a lot of wealth of knowledge of athletics. He has coached numerous sports at numerous levels," the superintendent said when recommending his appointment as assistant athletic director.
The superintendent explained two long‑standing supplemental positions (held by individuals planning to retire) left gaps in duties; the board approved adding a full‑time assistant athletic director to consolidate responsibilities and eliminate the two supplemental contracts. The athletic trainer function will be filled through a separate posting coordinated with Northpointe; those interviews were underway at the time of the meeting.
Board action: The board approved the Northpointe contract (Item 3) and the appointment of Jordan Mackey (Item 36). Motions passed by roll call; approvals were recorded by the board.
Ending: Trustees welcomed Mackey and noted the district will continue recruitment for the athletic trainer post through Northpointe while the assistant athletic director assumes consolidated administrative duties.
