Summary
The district will reorganize its technology department after a retirement: promoting Alex Polka to an information technology supervisor, moving an existing technician to tech 2, and hiring for a technician 1 role; administration said the reorganization produces approximately $30,000 in savings.
District administration told the board the technology department will be reorganized following the retirement of Jim DeLuca. The recommended plan (agenda items 10.6–10.9) would create or formalize an information technology supervisor role and promote Alex Polka into that position, reclassify an existing technician to a tech 2 role and hire for a technician 1 vacancy left by the promotions and retirement.
"We're recommending Alex Polka to fill [the position]...promoting Alex to an information technology supervisor," the superintendent said while describing the reorganization and its supervisory adjustments (SEG 933–945). Administration told members the net effect of the restructuring would be an approximate $30,000 savings for the department (SEG 986–987).
The board asked about the hiring process for the technician 1 vacancy. Administration described screening nine candidates, bringing four finalists to a committee interview panel that included technology staff and administration, and listing the top candidate on the agenda (SEG 1026–1031). Board members requested a clear policy about which hiring processes should include board participation.
Why it matters: the reorganization affects the district’s internal operations, supervisory structure, and payroll spending. The changes will be before the board for a formal vote at the next business meeting.
