Summary

Superintendent outlined interim assignments for community education duties and presented three staffing options — including a proposed class-2 secretary/community-ed coordinator with an annual cost of $41,225 — with a recommendation scheduled for Dec. 9.

The superintendent updated the board on community education operations and staffing, telling members that several duties have already shifted: facility scheduling has moved to Tricia, budgets to Dawn, marketing/“Mars” duties to Shannon, and registrations are being handled by Jill and Cindy.

She presented three options to fill the community-education coordinator need: replace the current 0.5 position with 1.5 FTE; hire a level-2 secretarial-contract community-ed coordinator (estimated annual cost $41,225); or offer a stipend to an existing staff member. "That cost for an entire year would be 41,225," the superintendent said while outlining the level-2 secretary option. She said leadership will finalize a recommendation and bring it to the board at the Dec. 9 meeting.

Board members discussed workload and the difficulty of adding duties to current staff. The superintendent emphasized that phone and email coverage is already in place and that the recommendation will weigh operational continuity and cost. No formal action was taken at the meeting; the board asked staff to return with a recommendation on Dec. 9.
