Community Consolidated School District 181

BOARD REPORT CONTACT: Don White, Ph.D., Superintendent TITLE: 2015-2016 Organizational Chart DATE: April 13, 2015 Background: The District’s continuous improvement process includes periodically reviewing changes in the types of administrative positions so that the District is better enabled to meet current and future needs. Gary Frisch’s retirement and Sean Walsh’s acceptance of a position in another school district gives me the opportunity to recommend administrative changes to better meet the needs of the district. A review of our current organizational chart was completed and several changes are being recommended for the 2015-2016 school year. Discussion: The following bullets are a summary of the recommendations that are part of the changes in the organization chart. • Ken Surma is appointed as the Assistant Superintendent of Business & Operations/CSBO. A copy of the

job description is attached. • The Assistant Superintendent of Information Services & Operations/CSBO position is eliminated. • Mike Vilendrer is appointed to the newly created position of Director of Operations. A copy of the job

description is attached. This will give Ken support as two departments (Business & Operations and Information Services & Operations) will now be within Ken's office.

• Mike Duggan is appointed as the Facilities Coordinator (which is Mike Vilendrer's current position). • Create a new position titled Director of Assessments & Effectiveness. If approved, the person in this

position will be responsible for assessments and program evaluations. This position will be part of the Department of Learning. A copy of the job description is attached.

• Dawn Benaitis is appointed to the newly created position of Director of Learning (Curriculum & Instruction). A copy of the job description is attached.

• Rocky May is appointed as the Assistant Principal at HMS (moving from the Dean position to the AP position).

Financial Impact: A detailed analysis of all administrative and exempt employees salary and benefits is included as part of the 2015-2016 salary recommendations agenda item. Recommendation: Approve as presented.
