Byron board approves K–5 dean posting as leadership role is restructured
Summary
Trustees approved a job description and internal posting for a K–5 dean (teacher on special assignment) to take on literacy leadership and some duties of the elementary assistant principal; the posting is part of the broader reductions and staffing reorganization.
The Byron Independent School District board approved a job description and internal posting to create a K–5 dean, converting duties formerly held by an elementary assistant principal/activities director into a teacher‑on‑special‑assignment role focused on literacy and curriculum support.
Administrators said the dean would operate under a TOSA‑style agreement with some extended days and would not require an administrative license (though an admin license is preferred). The goal is to keep literacy leadership within the elementary structure while aligning staffing with the district’s revised budget. "We would be looking for this person to be our literacy lead," the presenter said.
The board moved, seconded and carried the internal posting; administrators said applicants would have until the following Monday to apply and that interviews would follow. The posting is intended to help the district place displaced teachers and finalize leadership staffing ahead of the hiring season.
The vote to post the dean position passed by roll call; administrators will run the internal posting, interview candidates and return with a hiring recommendation.
