Summary: At the September 27, 2011 Board meeting, the Administration brought forward a job description for Administrator Special Education for information only to request the creation of the position and elimination of the position of Administrator Special Day Class.

In Spring, 2010, the Board of Education eliminated the position of Administrator for Special Education Resource Program and Related Services. This elimination was based on a recommendation of the MGT Study where it was recommended that some of the duties of Administrator for Special Education Resource Program and Related Services be added to the position of Administrator Special Day Classes.

During the 2010-11 school year, Mary Ann Tucker was reassigned duties related to the oversight of Resource Specialist Programs in the district. Therefore, with this increase in duties, the title of Administrator Special Education more appropriately captures the actual tasks of the position.

Over the last six years, the Administrator for Special Day Classes, while only a 207 day position, worked a summer schedule on a time sheet basis. Every year, work in the summer is necessary to assure students are placed, staff is recruited, and student transportation documentation is updated for the start of the new school year. For the 2011 school year, Ms. Tucker already worked a summer schedule on a time sheet.

This position requires a 248 day calendar and will commence with the next incumbent who assumes the position. This position will remain at salary range 25.

The funding will shift from a time sheet status during the summer to an annual salary.
Funding: The salary increase will be funded out of Part B Local Assistance - Program 3122.
Fiscal Impact $8,905 offset by a decrease in the extra help budget in the same amount.
Recommendation: Approve job description as presented.
