Board reviews list of adjunct teachers, including temporary assignments at Chickasha High School
Summary
The board considered adjunct appointments across the district — several teachers were presented for adjunct authorization and the district explained adjunct status is required when staff teach outside their certified areas.
The board was presented with a roster of proposed adjunct instructors for the coming year, including names and assignment areas. Among the listed adjuncts were music, environmental science, computer science, algebra, arts and elementary education roles. Staff explained adjunct listings are required when district employees are assigned to teach subjects outside their primary certified area or to formalize temporary/class-hour assignments. Names on the agenda included Matthew Givens (music), Miranda Moulder (environmental science; noted that her assignment differs from anatomy/physiology), Travis Owen (computer science, assignment at Chickasha High School), Sonya Pearson (Algebra I), Amanda Taylor (arts at CMS), Brandon Willis (elementary at Grant), Lisa Youngblood (environmental science at Chickasha High School), Justin Croak (physical education/athletics at Chickasha High School) and Tracy Williams (Oklahoma history at Chickasha High School). Board members asked about supports for teachers stepping into new subjects and staff said campus teams and the high-school department will provide resources and mentoring. Staff noted that adjuncting a teacher does not change credentials but documents district authorization and ties into accreditation reporting requirements. A board member moved to approve the adjunct authorizations as presented, with a correction to Travis Owen’s campus assignment.
