Board approves job description and evaluation changes for teaching and special services directors
Summary
The board approved updates to the director of teaching and learning job description, removed McKinney-Vento responsibilities from the director of special services job description, and adopted a new evaluation instrument aligned to those updates.
Becky Mader, assistant superintendent of human resources, presented updates to two director-level job descriptions and related evaluation instruments; trustees approved the changes by voice vote. Mader said the director of teaching and learning job description was updated to specify reporting to the superintendent and to the assistant superintendent for teaching and learning. She also said the director of special services job description was revised to remove McKinney-Vento responsibilities. The board voted to approve the job-description changes and a revised evaluation instrument for the director of teaching and learning, along with related updates to the director of special services evaluation form. Mader framed the updates as aligning organizational reporting and evaluation practice with current responsibilities. Trustees moved and seconded approval; the vote passed with no recorded opposition. Why this matters: changes affect administrative responsibilities, reporting lines and performance evaluation for district leaders responsible for instruction and special services. The board did not discuss implementation timelines in detail during the meeting; updated documents will take effect per district personnel processes.
