Board member moves to table proposed consolidation of two directors into one post

The board discussed a draft job description that would consolidate two director roles in the teaching-and-learning department into a single director position responsible for oversight of curriculum coordinators, principal evaluations and certain Title IX/hearing-officer duties.

An administrator presented the rationale for consolidating the positions, citing current vacancies and an intent to reduce overhead. A board member questioned whether the workload — including principal evaluations and serving on student-suspension appeals or Title IX investigations — could reasonably be assigned to one person. "I guess I truly wonder how that can all be a one person job," the board member said.

Administrators said many functions would be supervisory and supported by coordinators rather than performed solely by the director. Several board members suggested changing wording that framed Title IX duties as sole responsibilities; one suggestion was to list the position as "one of the Title IX investigators" to soften the impression that all investigative work would fall to a single hire. Administrators agreed to revise the language and noted the desire to post the position during the hiring season.

A board member moved to table the item and await a final revision from the superintendent; the transcript records the motion but does not include a recorded vote outcome. The item was left for further refinement and likely future board action.

No formal adoption or hiring decision was recorded in the transcript; board members discussed whether to repost existing job descriptions or proceed with a revised consolidated description.
