District restructures technology positions, raises technician duties and pay amid staffing changes
Summary
Technology leadership presented restructured job descriptions to move two higher‑level vacancies into building‑level technician roles, update long‑outdated job descriptions and raise hourly wages for frontline technicians.
The district presented a technology‑department restructuring that consolidates two vacant higher‑level management positions into lower‑level, building‑focused technician roles and updates job descriptions and compensation for long‑standing technician positions.
Director of Instructional Technology (Mr. Ontiveros per transcript) told the board two vacant management roles were not refilled; instead the district shifted funds to hire or reclassify more technicians to place support directly in school buildings, responding to principals’ requests for on‑site technical help. Ontiveros said the moves produce cost savings that were used to increase pay for technicians who had been earning below $15 per hour and to address summer-intern pay inequities.
Updated job descriptions add duties such as pulling cable and working in ceilings, tasks Ontiveros said were absent from older descriptions; the packet highlighted added duties in yellow. The board asked about separating agenda items for several technology jobs (computer technician versus phone technician) and noted the phone technician position is an incumbent employee whose duties are being updated rather than a newly posted vacancy.
Trustees expressed support for receiving written duties before approval and praised the staff for bringing explicit job descriptions tied to the requested compensation changes. The restructuring and revised job descriptions were placed on the consent agenda for the regular meeting.
