District proposes Tricia Barrett as McDivitt Elementary's next principal
What happened
The October 27 agenda proposes hiring Tricia Barrett as principal of McDivitt Elementary School, replacing the retiring principal. The proposed appointment would begin January 4, 2027, and run through June 30, 2027.
Why it matters to families
A school principal directly leads daily school operations and student support; families would have a new principal for the second half of the school year if the Board approves the appointment.
The evidence
The October 27, 2026 regular-meeting agenda lists a motion to employ Tricia Barrett as McDivitt Elementary School Principal at OBAA Guide Step 9, with a $162,865 salary and $6,000 MA+30 stipend, effective January 4 through June 30, 2027, replacing L. Coletti, who retired. This is a proposed action in an agenda, not a recorded approval.
