Batesville board creates Director of Operations role, approves salary lane
Summary
The board approved creation of a Director of Operations position and adopted a specialized professional salary schedule that lists a Director of Operations at a starting salary of $84,000 for SY 2026–27. The motion passed 5–0 with two absences.
The Batesville School District Board of Directors voted Aug. 5 to create a Director of Operations position to oversee transportation, food services, technology, maintenance, custodial services, school resource officers, school nurses and school safety. Karen Beller moved the action and Dwight Ford seconded; the motion carried 5–0 with Heather Fulbright and Chris Milum absent.
The agenda packet includes a specialized professional salary schedule that lists the Director of Operations salary beginning at $84,000. The administration described the role as classified (not an assistant superintendent salary) and said the director would report to the superintendent and provide centralized operational oversight. "The Director of Operations will report to the Superintendent and work collaboratively with district administrators and building principals to ensure the safe, efficient, and effective operation of all district support services," the packet states.
Board members approved the position and the attached salary lane without further amendment. The motion did not specify an individual hire; hiring remains an administrative action consistent with the district's personnel procedures.
