All staff members were sent this information by email last week. It is being repeated here for your information.
We wanted you to be aware of changes taking place with our regional directors for the 2012-13 school year. As you may know, we had two resignations this summer among this group of leaders, which prompted the need to review current assignments. Some of the many factors we considered before making our decisions included:
• A desire for leadership stability in regions as much as possible;
• Considerations regarding the agency budget given recent reductions;
• Centralizing some hiring functions with the hope of improving coordination and strengthening recruiting; and
• The ability to further distribute and align district needs and agency work with the expertise and experience of our directors.
After considering these and other factors, we decided to absorb both of the vacancies and adjust assignments for some of our directors. Those districts directly impacted by these changes have already had contact with our Chief Administrator, Dr. Paula Vincent.
We are pleased to have significant stability within regions with this plan, but we know there will also be a number of changes, too. We value our relationships with you and are committed to having current and new regional directors work together to ensure smooth transitions and ongoing support to our staff and to our schools.
For those of you who work in the regions, regional directors will be confirming supervision lists this week, so you can expect to have a personal communication from your supervisor early next week. If you have any questions regarding these changes, please feel free to contact either one of us.
Thanks for all you do to improve the learning outcomes for the children and youth in our area. Have a great 2012-13 school year!
