Committee approves revamped Academic Data Analyst job description, shifts role to 11-month position
Summary
The personnel committee approved an updated job description renaming the testing and accountability role to "Academic Data Analyst," expanding responsibilities to district assessment analysis and training, and changing the position from 12 to 11 months to ensure summer data coverage.
The Tangipahoa Parish personnel committee on Nov. 4 approved an updated job description to retitle and refocus the district's testing and accountability position as an "Academic Data Analyst." The change passed unanimously.
Dr. Frizzell presented the revised description as a revamp rather than a new job, saying the accountability system is changing so that older and newer data will arrive in the same year. "This is not a new position, but a revamp job description for what we used to call testing and accountability," Dr. Frizzell said, and added the updated role would handle district assessment analysis, accountability data, strategic-plan metrics, reporting, visuals and training, with testing responsibilities remaining but no longer the sole focus.
Dr. Frizzell also explained a proposed shift from a 12-month to an 11-month appointment so the analyst would be available during the summer months when data arrive, rather than off on annual leave. "So this would take make it an 11 month... when our data starts coming in in the summer... they're actually there to do it and not off," she said.
Miss Abrams moved to adopt the administration's recommendation to update the job description; Miss Richards seconded. The clerk recorded yes votes from Miss Abrams, Miss Dominguez, Mr. Piazza, Miss Richards and Mr. Toler, and the chair announced the motion carried.
The committee did not provide salary range or precise start date during the meeting. Staff will proceed with the updated job description per the committee's approval and will return with implementation details as needed.
