District staff ask for four charter‑school positions for Rising Wolf and PACE; board approves
Summary
District staff requested one student‑services coordinator and one program lead at each charter site (Rising Wolf and PACE Academy), explained positions are tied to charter funding, and the board approved the staffing recommendation by voice vote.
A district presenter identified in the meeting as Mr. Fisero summarized a charter‑school staffing proposal asking for one student‑services coordinator and one certified program lead at each charter site (Rising Wolf and PACE Academy), for a total of four positions. He said part of the additional funding allocated for charters was intended to support these roles and that two positions would be certified (paid from teacher salaries) while two would be nonunion coordinator roles.
Trustees asked how stable the legislative funding is and whether positions would disappear if charter funding ended; staff replied the posts are tied to charter status and that the district would advocate for transition support if funding were withdrawn. Trustees also discussed program integrity, administrative support, and how program leads would interact with existing high‑school administrative duties.
After discussion, a trustee moved and the board voted by voice to approve the staffing recommendation. Staff noted the positions were intended to strengthen program operations and compliance with charter requirements; they also said the district will provide regular updates on program growth and effectiveness.
What happens next: The newly approved positions will be created and funded according to the charter budget; staff will report back to the board on program implementation and growth.
