Permian reshapes, adds outposts for team approach
Permian High School plans a major reorganization with assistant principals, a secretary, attendance clerk and counselor placed in distributed office outposts across the campus to speed parent access and improve security. A new entry check-in counter, a department shift with team leaders and academic associates, and seniors able to leave after fifth period aim to reduce truancy and free teachers for extra help. Renovations costing about 88000 dollars are due to start in September, with den offices replacing some classroom space.
