Albert Lea restructures instructional coaching; 14 positions affected
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Heil told the board that braided-funded coaching positions were restructured, affecting 14 positions; seven teachers remain in coaching roles while seven returned to classroom instruction. An updated ATPPS MOU is expected April 20, 2026.
Superintendent Dr. Heil outlined a reorganization of the district—s MTSS and instructional coaching system, saying several positions previously funded across Title I, ATPPS, Compensatory and the General Fund were restructured to streamline services. "A total of 14 positions were impacted," he said, and described that many individuals returned to classroom teaching so more staff could provide direct student instruction.
Dr. Heil described the revised coaching model in detail: two literacy coaches (K-7 and 8-12, as needed), one mathematics coach (K-12), one MTSS coach (K-12) and three ATPPS coaches assigned by grade level based on observation needs, leaving seven teachers in coaching roles and seven returning to classroom positions. He noted an updated ATPPS Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is anticipated on April 20, 2026.
Board members did not vote on the staffing changes at the meeting; the presentation was informational. The transcript does not record dollar amounts, affected employee names, or personnel decisions beyond role counts; personnel actions would follow district human-resources procedures.
