Superintendent outlines options to staff community education; recommends decision Dec. 9
Summary
Superintendent Beth Giese said community education duties have shifted among staff and presented options including hiring a class‑2 secretary/community education coordinator at an estimated $41,225 per year or offering a stipend to an existing employee; a formal recommendation will come to the board on Dec. 9.
Superintendent Beth Giese told the board that community education responsibilities have been redistributed while the district searches for a longer‑term solution. She said the facility scheduler work moved to Tricia, budget tasks moved to Dawn, Mars tasks to Shannon, and registrations are being handled by Jill and Cindy to maintain customer service for in‑person signups.
Giese said the district is considering three approaches: recruit an employee to add community education duties as an extension of their regular day; replace the current .5 FTE with a 1.5 FTE (level 2 secretary / community ed coordinator) at an estimated annual cost of $41,225; or offer a stipend to a current staff member. She asked the board to expect a formal recommendation on Dec. 9 after leadership works through options. "We will come to you on the 9th for the recommendation," she said.
Board members thanked staff for interim coverage and acknowledged the workload pressures on Tricia and others. Superintendent Giese cautioned the board that the current staffing model is not sustainable long term and that leadership will bring options that balance cost and service continuity.
