Board reviews hiring priorities: special-education director, college-and-career role and maintenance director discussed
Summary
Superintendent outlined hires the district plans to advertise or defer to the incoming superintendent: maintenance director, high-school counselor, a college-and-career readiness role, and a debated special-education director (0.5 FTE vs full-time).
Superintendent told the board the district is preparing to advertise several positions for next year — a maintenance director (confidential supervisory role), a high-school counselor, and a full-time college-and-career readiness position — and asked whether the board wants the special-education director post advertised now or left for the incoming superintendent to fill. "If the new superintendent says, 'I'd like to increase that to a full time,' then they have the ... feedback," the superintendent said, explaining the rationale for delaying or proceeding with the special-ed director hire.
The board discussed fiscal constraints and the advantage of hiring a dedicated college-and-career position to provide consistent scholarship support, FAFSA nights and college visits rather than continuing to distribute those duties among existing teachers. The superintendent also proposed an incentive for the lead teacher at the small elementary site: an additional five to ten days on the contract as an extra-duty stipend, which the board noted would show up in the budget documents.
