  A. PCA Resignation Vote
   
- Shebbie Williams has requested to resign from his position at PCA effective December 3, 2021.
 
  B. Position Changes Vote
   
District and School Leadership felt that with the recent vacancy of the PCA Director of Discipline and Safety position, this was a good opportunity to consider some administrative restructuring in order to improve the overall effectiveness of the organization and of PCA.  Therefore, the following position changes are recommended:
- Eliminate the PCA Director of Discipline and Safety position
- Change the PCA Counselor position to an Assistant Principal/Counselor position
- Create a District Curriculum Director position

 

Although the Board does not vote on internal position changes after an employee has been approved for hire with the organization, we feel that an explanation of how these new roles would be filled exhibits a spirit of transparency.  Therefore, if these position changes are approved the following internal moves will take place:
- Kathy Bantz will move from PCA Assistant Principal to District Curriculum Director
- Fallyn Askew, who was recently chosen to fill the position of PCA Director of Discipline and Safety will be named PCA Assistant Principal.
- Christina Boyd's title will change from Counselor to Assistant Principal/Counselor
*The roles of the Director of Discipline and Safety will be distributed among the Principal and two Assistant Principals.
