Board approves transfer of teacher Chris Chad to dean of students after debate over staffing and budget
Summary
The Rock Ridge board voted 6—1 to transfer teacher Chris Chad into a dean-of-students role; members debated the effect on classroom coverage, whether the transfer requires additional hires, and how third-party billing and program changes factor into budgeting.
The Rock Ridge board approved a personnel action transferring Chris Chad from a second-grade classroom role into a dean-of-students position. The motion carried 6—1 after extended discussion about how the reassignment will affect classroom schedules and staffing costs.
Board members pressed administration on whether the reassignment would require hiring to cover Chad's prior teaching sections or whether existing staff could be shifted. One director warned that reassigning personnel can create a ripple effect of additional hires and budget changes, saying the shift could be "an additional budget item." Administration said it is working on scheduling and staffing scenarios and expects to present names to the board at the next meeting; it also said ongoing program revenue (third-party billing) could offset some costs.
The chair called for the vote after discussion; the motion passed 6 in favor and 1 opposed. Members asked for follow-up details on how the district will cover Chad's prior duties and any hiring the change requires.
Next steps: administration will return to the board with staffing plans to cover classroom sections and any budget adjustments required.
