Board approves new director of secondary education position; hiring to coordinate with incoming superintendent
Summary
The board approved creating a director of secondary education position to mirror an existing elementary director role; trustees requested that final hiring decisions coordinate with the district’s incoming superintendent.
The Edmond Board of Education approved a new Director of Secondary Education position intended to provide district-level support for middle and high schools similar to an existing elementary-level director.
District leaders said the role responds to the number of schools and the need for additional hands-on support so that central office administrators are not pulled from building duties during district crises. The superintendent told trustees the model mirrors the elementary director role, which has shown positive results.
One trustee asked that interviews and the final hiring process be coordinated with the incoming superintendent so that the future superintendent can participate in the selection of a cabinet-level hire. Trustees agreed to delay any hiring until the new superintendent can participate in interviews.
A motion to create the position passed by roll call.
