Board hears job description revisions and staffing reductions tied to referendum work
Summary
District leaders outlined job‑description updates intended to consolidate roles and sustain a roughly 10% reduction in district‑office administrative staffing, with one change estimated to save about $145,740 annually; board members discussed promotion from within and career‑path language for facilities positions.
District staff presented proposed job‑description changes designed to redistribute work and avoid backfilling positions as part of ongoing administrative reductions.
A presenter described reframing the discrimination/Title IX coordinator role as an associate legal counsel/discrimination Title IX coordinator, and proposed more specific administrative‑assistant descriptions tied to school levels and functions. Staff said the overall office headcount has declined about 10% over recent years as part of budget reduction efforts. For one position change staff estimated an immediate annual savings of about $145,740.
Board members asked about wording that could explicitly include promotion and training responsibilities for facilities managers to support recruiting and career progression from trades positions. District leaders said promotion from within has occurred and that such language could be added to job descriptions where appropriate. The board discussed the relationship between this work and the district’s strategic‑planning goals (for example, thriving workforce measurements). No final personnel actions were approved at the work session.
