Public commenter says 11 long-term special-education vacancies; urges board to reconsider placement of administrators
Summary
Jen Souza urged trustees to consider powers separately and flagged what she characterized as 11 long-term vacancies in special education, criticizing moving administrators into those roles and calling for transparency.
Jen Souza told the board she had read the resolution and urged trustees to consider each power it grants separately, rather than approving a blanket set of authorities. She said it is "really offensive" to place administrators into special-education positions and told trustees she believes there are 11 long-term vacancies in special education.
"I urge you to consider each power separately...it looks like there's 11 long term vacancies in special education in this district," Souza said, asking trustees to push back on the superintendent's request and to be transparent about staffing decisions. Her comments linked concerns about administrative reassignment and transparency to broader questions about how the district fills specialized roles.
