Evansville School Board approves District Administrator Job Description--with slight emphasis change

On Monday night, the Evansville School Board approved Policy #221, the job description of the District Administrator. At the September board meeting, Policy chairman, Todd Campbell, went over the job description. The words remain the same, the paragraphs remain the same, but the order of the paragraphs has changed. The section of the job description on Leadership has been moved to the top. This reflects the need of the school district to be proactive in the long range planning process with the community.

After the frenzied pace of former school administrator, Gary Albrecht, a lower public profile had been desired as the school building program had been completed. Now that development issues are beginning to arise again, it is recognized by the district that they need a representative to project the needs and goals of the district to the community. So, expect to see Heidi Garvin in a more visible presence in public meetings. This is welcome news to the Observer.
