Board debates reclassifying accountant role as hiring proves difficult
Summary
District leaders said they could not recruit a qualified professional accountant despite multiple postings and discussed reverting a professional accounting position to a service-level Accountant 3 to broaden applicants; a motion to create/reclassify the account was made but no vote appears in the transcript.
Director (S2) described recruitment difficulties for a professional accountant position (previously held by Sandy) and said the role has been posted multiple times without success. S2 said the district may reclassify the opening as an Accountant 3 service position that would not require a bachelor's degree to expand the candidate pool: "So if anybody thinks we're creating another new position, we are not. This is the same position that we're we're just trying different things with."
Staff and board members discussed posting cadence and outreach; staff noted that when verbal confirmations were used for discipline and other data, problems arose and they will switch to written electronic communications. A motion to create the account was moved and seconded, but the transcript does not record a final vote on that specific motion. Separately, the director reviewed board goals and the timeline for approving them before mid-September.
