District assigns assistant superintendents to cover special-ed duties; board cites $50,000 short-term savings
Summary
The board approved temporary additional duties and pay for two assistant superintendents to cover the retiring special-education director from March 1 through June 30 at $160 per day, a move the administration said will save about $50,000 over that period.
Public comment included a question about personnel item #14: the temporary assignment of additional responsibilities to two central-administration staff (Miss DeMeo and Mr. Thomas) from March 1 through June 30 at a rate of $160 per day. A resident asked, "What additional responsibilities?" and noted the pay rate and potential equity concerns.
The administration replied that the special-education director is retiring March 1 and the district opted not to rehire immediately; instead the two assistants will perform director duties in addition to their own work. A district speaker said this approach is expected to save the district about $50,000 between March 1 and June 30. The board later approved the personnel agenda that included these assignments.
