TU: Duval County School Board mulls addition of 4 administrators

[Patricia M. McBride]

There just appears to be no end to wasting money in the school system.  They hear the governor is going to increase education spending, so they dash right out and start thinking about putting 4 more high priced administrators in.  What is wrong with these folks when these high priced paper pushers already outnumber teachers by 4 to 5 times.  They are just increasing the expense without improving the schools or the learning experience for the children in the system.

 

Members will review the organizational structure of the district administration.

Duval County School Board mulls addition of 4 administrators

As it searches for a new superintendent, the Duval County School Board is considering hiring a chief officer for information and accountability who would report directly to outgoing Superintendent Ed Pratt-Dannals.

The job would entail overseeing all academic program research, assessment and evaluations and would pay $108,000 to $162,000 a year.

The work will focus on the continuous improvement of students, teachers, principals and the district by reviewing academic program performance data, assisting with the implementation of best business practices and enhancing the quality of support services, according to the job description.

The proposed job description is among four involving new administrative or supervisory positions slated for action by the board during its meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the School Administration Building, 1701 Prudential Drive. The meeting will be broadcast live on Comcast Channel 99 and online at www.duvalschools.org.
