Reorganize district technology positions
IN SHORT
Goal: The reorganization adds no net cost to the general fund.
Status: In review. The review date was September 15, 2025, and the stamp is being checked.
The board replaced two Information Technology Technician positions with a new Network Specialist and a new Systems Specialist, and added a full-time Information Technology Assistant. The district said the changes would not add cost to the general fund because a vacant IT Coordinator management position would be eliminated.
Conflict check: This decision involves the district's Technology Services department, where Ethan's father is a senior administrator and where Ethan interned in summer 2026. A second, independent review of this record is pending. Disclosures
