Superintendent outlines organizational changes and districtwide MTSS plan
Summary
Superintendent Matthew Cortez presented a new organizational chart, plans to hire an assistant superintendent and curriculum director, and described creating a three‑tier MTSS for all Muskegon Public Schools; the district will also adopt BoardDocs for policy management.
Superintendent Matthew Cortez presented administrative changes and program plans during the March 3 workshop, saying the district will streamline some positions and add roles on the curriculum side to support I AM academies and other initiatives.
Cortez said the district plans to hire an Assistant Superintendent and a Curriculum Director; he described a new organizational-structure graphic intended to keep Finance and HR largely unchanged while changing how curriculum responsibilities are organized. He also said the district will create a three‑tier Multi‑Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) for all schools, keeping elements that work in the current model and rebuilding other pieces into a standardized framework across the district.
In addition, Cortez reported the district plans to purchase BoardDocs software to house board policies online and facilitate editing and maintenance.
Why it matters: Reorganizing central administration and formalizing MTSS can change how curriculum and student supports are delivered across schools and may affect hiring, training, and budget priorities.
What’s next: Administration will proceed with recruitment for the new positions and develop implementation plans for MTSS; the board received the update during the workshop and no formal votes were taken.
