Board discusses budget realignment, retains need for assistant superintendent positions
Summary
The superintendent updated the board on work tied to the $4.4 million budget realignment, including job‑description reviews and the district’s conclusion that two senior administrative positions remain necessary; one assistant superintendent position will be posted.
Dr. Brenner briefed the board on progress since the board approved $4.4 million in budget realignment work. He said administrators and principals met to review job descriptions and consider shifting deliverables. After discussion, participants concluded the district should retain both the associate and assistant superintendent roles to avoid operational gaps; Dr. Brenner said one assistant‑level position would likely be posted soon as a known departure is anticipated.
Dr. Brenner also described work on K‑12 music master scheduling, a possible 2.5 FTE middle‑school music reduction and options to reassign staff across levels. He updated the board on attrition and the reduction‑in‑force process, saying the originally identified 25 certified FTE reduction list had been reduced and that staff outreach would continue before the packet deadline.
Board members questioned whether administrative duties could be redistributed and urged clearer job‑description alignment with performance evaluations. Dr. Hodak pressed for a deeper review of who is responsible for which tasks; Dr. Brenner said the district would continue evaluating workload and engagement and that one assistant superintendent post would be filled while the need for both positions remains.
No formal action was taken; the item was presented for discussion and clarification.
