Summary

Superintendent Dan reported administrative staff reductions, reassignments, creation of student support specialist roles, a posted campus monitor position, and a contract extension with First Student that includes an 8% reduction for upcoming years; he also discussed a proposed intergovernmental agreement with the City of Hubbard.

Superintendent Dan presented a multi‑part operational update, describing staffing adjustments, leadership opportunities and contract developments. He said the district has a lean administrative team this year and explained a decision to pause hiring a vice principal at one school; instead the district moved to a student support specialist model to provide student management support without the full administrative supervision responsibilities.

Dan said the district completed a reduction in administrative positions earlier in the summer and that some teacher reassignments and vacancies (including math and special education openings) remain to be filled. He described a posted campus monitor position and said the district restored instructional leadership team stipends at a reduced level. Dan also reported an executed contract extension with First Student that yields an approximately 8% reduction in transportation costs for 2026–27 and 2027–28 and noted staff are negotiating an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Hubbard regarding added police services and limited access to surveillance camera footage for emergencies only.

Dan asked board members to plan for a board retreat discussion and one‑on‑one meetings to shape retreat topics; he also noted a bargaining reopener for classified wages is planned in spring 2028.
