Board renames two cabinet positions to assistant superintendent; no salary increase
Summary
The governing board approved revising the district organizational chart to retitle two executive‑director posts as assistant superintendents effective July 1, 2025; administration said the change is intended to broaden future applicant pools and align with common educational titles, with no additional salary allocated.
The Litchfield Elementary School District Governing Board approved a revised organizational chart that renames two existing cabinet positions—executive director of operations and executive director of programs and instruction—as assistant superintendents, effective July 1, 2025.
Superintendent Dr. Eric Davidson said the change is intended to align district titles with common education‑sector nomenclature and to expand the applicant pool should the positions be vacated in the future. He emphasized the vote would change titles only and would not add positions or modify compensation.
Context and rationale: Dr. Davidson told the board the titles were once used in the district and are widely recognized in education as cabinet‑level roles. He said adoption of the titles could make the district more competitive when recruiting candidates who have trained for district‑level leadership roles. Human resources staff confirmed the change sends no additional salary to the positions.
Board questions and clarifications: Board Member Moran asked whether the reporting structure would change; administration confirmed the current reporting lines—executive directors reporting to Deputy Superintendent Dr. Doozy—remain the same. Board Member Mikes said he supported the change, calling the titles consistent with the district’s organizational flow.
Action and vote: Miss Moran moved to approve the revised organizational chart, effective 07/01/2025; Mr. Owens seconded. The board voted unanimously to approve the chart.
What’s next: The titles will be updated in district materials and job postings; administration said HR will not add new positions or salary allocations in connection with the change.
