All four elementary curriculum supervisor posts were abolished in one motion

What happened

On September 29, 2025 the board's personnel agenda abolished the district's four K-6 curriculum supervisor positions, covering social studies, English language arts and world languages, mathematics, and science, along with two part-time custodians and a media specialist at Copeland, while creating seven other positions. Five months later the board also abolished the executive director of human resources post and the manager of substitute services post it had created in December. All of these were adopted inside the consent agenda without separate discussion recorded in the minutes.

Why it matters to families

Curriculum supervisors are the people who decide what is taught in each subject and who coach the teachers who teach it. Removing all four at the elementary level, in a district where 43 percent of students are chronically absent and reading results are a standing concern, changes who is responsible for instruction.

The evidence

The September minutes list under 'B. ABOLISHMENTS' the entries 'Supervisor Of Elementary Social Studies K-6 1 (4254) Teaching & Learning/ Curriculum' together with the elementary mathematics, science and English language arts and world languages supervisor posts.
