Board approves new coordinator job descriptions; amends operations coordinator to prefer master's degree
Summary
The Hardee County School Board approved updates to the job-description manual to add a coordinator of operations/transportation and maintenance and a coordinator of food and nutrition services, and the board voted to amend the operations coordinator listing to indicate a master's degree is preferred, not required.
The Hardee County School Board on June 26 approved updates to its job-description manual that add a coordinator of operations/transportation and maintenance and a coordinator of food and nutrition services.
Board members discussed whether the operations coordinator position should require a master's degree while director-level maintenance and transportation positions listed a bachelor's requirement. Board member Miss Cornell questioned the disparity and asked whether one person could oversee both areas and whether the education requirement reflected the intended candidate pool. Miss Bennett and another board member urged the board to treat an advanced degree as preferred rather than mandatory.
After discussion, a motion was made and seconded to amend the 10.02 job description so the master's degree is listed as "preferred" rather than required. The board voted "aye" and the amendment passed. The board then voted to approve the updated job-description manual with that amendment in place.
The board also approved item 10.03 to add the coordinator of food and nutrition services with no further discussion recorded.
Ending: The board adopted the language change to clarify that a master's degree is preferred for the operations coordinator role and approved both job-description updates by voice vote.
