Board approves posting for director of athletics after debate over facilities role
Summary
Following discussion on whether athletics and facilities work should be split or outsourced to Aramark, the board voted 8–0 with one abstention to post and advertise the director of athletics position and said administration will bring salary/offer details later.
The board agreed to post and advertise the director of athletics position after hearing that incumbent Anthony Graham has resigned and that the district is considering splitting athletics and buildings-and-grounds duties. Administration said 35 candidates had applied for the athletic director posting and expected to forward a name at the next meeting.
Board members asked for comparative cost scenarios (stand-alone athletic director; athletic director plus separate facilities hire; and Aramark assuming grounds duties). Superintendent said Aramark had given an estimate "in the vicinity of 40 to 50" (discussion implied thousands) for taking on those duties and promised a side-by-side cost and services analysis for the board to review. The motion to advertise passed by roll call with eight yes votes and one abstention.
