Reports and Recommendations, June 16, 1999 <br /> Page 8 <br /> and middle schools. The new Director of School Services and the Director of <br /> Educational Support Services will report to the Assistant Superintendent for <br /> Instructional Services (Tom Henry). <br /> Labor Relations: The Director of Labor Relations will report directly to the <br /> Superintendent rather than to the Director of Human Resources. This more <br /> accurately reflects our current operation. The superintendent, after consulting <br /> with the school board, provides direction to the Director of Labor Relations during <br /> negotiations and in dealing with various labor relations issues. <br /> Educational Equity and Diversity: The organizational chart now makes it clear <br /> that the superintendent's office is responsible for coordinating issues related to <br /> educational equity and diversity issues. We need to continue to emphasize <br /> educational equity and increase the diversity of our work force. <br /> Principals' Resource Team: The organization chart has never recognized the <br /> unique role and responsibility of the principals' resource team, which is a group of <br /> four principals who help coordinate the work of the principals, provide support to <br /> them as they deal with school operational issues, and serve on the superinten- <br /> dent's direct staff. The team is composed of two elementary principals, one <br /> middle school principal, and one high school principal. They are released part <br /> time from their responsibilities as building principals. <br /> Superintendent's Core Team: When I was hired as interim superintendent, we <br /> agreed that I would work with a core executive team composed of Tom Henry, <br /> Director of Instruction, Marilyn Clotz, Director of Staff and Community Relations, <br /> and David Piercy, Assistant to the Superintendent. I intend to continue the core <br /> team and am changing their titles to more accurately reflect their current work and <br /> level of responsibility. Tom Henry's title will be changed to Assistant Super- <br /> intendent for Instructional Services, Marilyn Clotz's to Executive Director of Staff <br /> and Community Relations, and David Piercy's to Deputy Superintendent. I will <br /> be proposing to you in July that they continue to receive the pay increments you <br /> approved last July. <br /> I believe these changes will more accurately reflect how the school district operates <br /> and improve our ability to provide an effective, responsive, and accountable <br /> instructional program. <br /> VIII. CONSENT GROUP - ITEMS FOR ACTION <br /> 1. Approve School Board Minutes <br /> The superintendent recommends approval of the minutes for the regular board <br /> meetings held on April 14 and April 21, 1999, and the work session held June 5, <br /> 1999. <br /> 2. Approve CyberSchool's Application for Membership to the Northwest <br /> Association of Schools and Colleges <br /> Last August the 4J CyberSchool received notification from the Northwest <br /> Association of Schools and Colleges that it could no longer claim accredited status <br /> through North Eugene High School. The Association changed its policy so that all <br />
