Board discusses hiring priorities, special-education director options and college/career role
Summary
Trustees debated whether to advertise now for a special-education director (0.5 FTE vs full-time) or let the incoming superintendent fill the post; they also considered re-creating a college-and-career position after layoffs and discussed staffing trade-offs.
Board members and staff debated immediate hires versus leaving certain positions for the incoming superintendent to decide. Staff described recruitment plans for a maintenance director and a high-school counselor, and asked whether to advertise for a special-education director now or let the next superintendent choose scope and start date. The superintendent said current analysis supports a 0.5-time special-education director for the district but left the option for the new superintendent to expand to full time.
The meeting also reviewed college-and-career readiness services that were lost in layoffs. Staff and trustees said those responsibilities had temporarily shifted to other teachers but emphasized that the district intends to include a college/career position in the coming budget and choose whether it should be certified or classified based on the candidate pool and fiscal realities.
