RSU 40/MSAD 40 subcommittee moves district nurses and school counselors under assistant superintendent
Summary
The subcommittee approved revisions to job descriptions that transfer supervision of district school nurses and school counselors from special education leaders to the assistant superintendent (Danielle), amending policy language to reflect the change.
The RSU 40/MSAD 40 subcommittee voted to revise job descriptions so that district school nurses and school counselors will be supervised by the assistant superintendent, Danielle, rather than by the director and assistant director of special education.
The motion, introduced by Speaker 2 and described as "pursuant to policy BDE items 1, 2, and 3," updates the assistant superintendent job description to add a new subsection assigning supervision and evaluation responsibilities for school nurses and oversight of health services. During discussion members clarified that the change removes those staff from Penelope and Ashley's supervisory responsibility in special education and places them under Danielle's purview to align with the organizational chart presented to the board.
Speakers noted the revised job descriptions were available via hyperlinks in the meeting packet; some members experienced difficulty locating the linked documents during the live meeting. Speaker 1 summarized the substantive change: "Danielle will take care of the school nurses and the school counselors, and we just wanted to update the job descriptions to reflect that." (attributed to Speaker 1 as spoken in the meeting record.)
A motion to "approve all three" related job-description items with additional clarifying language passed after the vote was called in favor. The meeting record does not include a formal roll-call tally by name for the vote.
The committee indicated that the revisions will appear in the official minutes and that the precise amended language will be incorporated into the assistant superintendent job description under the stated policy references. No implementation timeline or budgetary impact was stated in the meeting record.
