Board approves superintendent’s recommended performance-based contracts and appointments

The Livingston Parish School Board approved the superintendent’s recommended performance-based contracts and a list of personnel assignments, including multiple assistant principal appointments.

Superintendent Link presented the list and explained the reason several entries were longer than usual: some positions were changed from an elementary designee to an elementary assistant principal. “I have attached in the, assistant principals that were, recently from the elementaries, where we that position was changed from an elementary designee to an elementary assistant principal. So that's why that list is longer. So I'm just asking for approval,” he said.

Board action: A motion to approve the superintendent’s recommendations was made by Jeffersdale and seconded by Brad Harris; the board voted and the motion carried. Several of the appointees were recognized in the meeting, including Jeff Watts and Brittany Killick. The board asked those receiving appointments to stand to be recognized.

Context: The superintendent noted many district employees are former students who return to serve in the system, describing it as a “family atmosphere.” No individual contract terms (salaries or durations) were read into the record at the meeting; the board approved the contracts as presented.
