Board approves assistant superintendent job description with added licensure requirement
Summary
The board approved a job description for an assistant superintendent/director of human services, amending it to add a licensure requirement; board members discussed that this is a clarification of delegation and not a new FTE, and an appointment and contract will return to the board at a future meeting.
The Molalla River SD 35 Board of Directors voted Dec. 12 to approve a job description for an assistant superintendent/director of human services with an added licensure requirement. Speaker 11 moved the amendment to add the licensure requirement under qualifications, Speaker 1 seconded, and the motion passed by a voice/hand-raise vote.
Staff described the change as an organizational clarification, not an additional full-time equivalent position. Speaker 2 said the intent is to create a clear line of delegation from the superintendent's office to the assistant superintendent so patrons and employees know who is authorized to act on specific responsibilities. "We're not talking about adding any new FTE to our budget," Speaker 2 said, noting that Director Ellis has recently completed licensure training that allows her to apply for the license referenced in the job description.
Board members asked procedural questions about the timing and next steps. Speaker 11 confirmed that approving the job description tonight does not itself appoint a person; the superintendent said a contract and formal appointment would be brought to the board at a future meeting or work session. One director abstained earlier in consent on a personnel packet item because a family member appeared in the personnel report, but that abstention was unrelated to this job-description vote.
What happens next: the superintendent will return to the board with a contract and, if appropriate, a nomination to fill the assistant superintendent role after the board has had the chance to review the job description and proposed compensation.
