School District Survey Recommends Staff Reorganization
A Vinlah School District survey recommending a district staff reorganization and board commendations was unanimously accepted at a regular meeting. The six month study by three UK educators proposed reallocating duties rather than staff cuts and creating three directors under the superintendent to centralize authority. The executive officer and board of education would appoint the superintendent as district officer, with expanded pupil guidance and special services for exceptional children. The business director role would replace the old clerk position and require a certified, experienced school professional.
