Southmoreland board approves converting 4-hour maintenance job to 8-hour flex position

The Southmoreland School District board approved converting a 4-hour maintenance position into an 8-hour flex maintenance position and directed administration to post the position internally, with the option to advertise externally later.

The motion to remove personnel item F7 from the table was made, seconded and carried; the board then voted by voice to approve the conversion and internal posting. The change was described at the meeting as a staffing adjustment to meet the district's operational needs.

Board members asked that the position be posted promptly. Administration said the maintenance posting would follow the district's personnel procedures and be advertised internally first. The action was procedural and did not include budget details or a vote tally recorded in the transcript beyond the chair's announcement that the motion passed.

The board's approval concluded discussion of the personnel items on the special-meeting agenda.
