Board approves new communications and community engagement coordinator position
Summary
Board approved superintendent's personnel recommendation to create a communications and community engagement coordinator that consolidates graphic design, website management, videography and partner outreach while reducing the overall school/community relations budget.
The school board approved a superintendent recommendation to restructure the district's communications function and add a communications and community engagement coordinator.
District HR staff described the position as an 'elevated' role that will combine graphic design, district website management, videography and partners‑in‑education duties; staff said the restructuring will result in a net reduction in the school and community relations budget compared with the prior year. The proposal had been discussed on the district's December agenda and is part of a broader staffing realignment.
Board members asked whether the role could support active outreach to employers and community partners — for example, to promote Career Center pathways and recruit contractors to partner with trades programs. Staff said that while direct business recruitment has typically been handled by partners‑in‑education, the communications role can create targeted social media and promotional content that raises awareness of programs and highlights student successes.
The board voted to approve the superintendent's personnel recommendations, including creation of the new coordinator position.
