Summary

During public comment residents asked whether hiring shared services would change the local principal role, whether Mrs. Durborow would become principal and whether the district should add a vice principal to maintain visibility and leadership.

Several residents at the April 21 meeting asked the board to clarify how superintendent staffing choices would affect school leadership at the building level. Ms. Atland asked directly whether the district would still have a principal if the board pursued shared services, and whether Mrs. Durborow would become principal in that scenario; Ms. Orecchio said she supported hiring a vice principal should Durborow assume the principal role.

Those comments reflect community concern about daily leadership and visibility in the school if district-level leadership is shared across multiple districts. The minutes show no board decision on principal or vice principal appointments during the public meeting; the board later entered an executive session to discuss personnel matters.
