See Pg 11 : Sect K of the following agenda --2nd instance of job description in question: May 20, 2008
So it appears the change was DULY voted on and Passed!
The next question is why was there a need for the Principal's Cert qualification to be removed when the job responsibilities did not change. Now mistakes can definitely happen -- could have been a simple over zealous cut and paste job. Who knows?
So I'm posting the two instances here for your viewing pleasure. Help me with this -- are there any other changes you all notice?

It appears this job was left unfilled for over a year?
This thing just gets curiouser and curiouser...
I'd like to offer this recommendation to the Board to avoid any future "look" of non-compliance. When you are reviewing "JOB DESCRIPTIONS" attach what was actually reviewed to the agenda so that there is a public and permanent record. This having to go back, check, look up, find -- just doesn't bode well for an organization who promises and touts transparency in their process. Besides this way -- should an update to a date get overlooked ... the record will stand on its own merit.

Thanks Renata! I so far have found no changes aside from the modification on qualifications.
And yes, this position is becoming a sample, or a spring, for many things. It is not the position anymore that is interesting, it is what is behind that piques my own curiosity.
Thanks again!
Maria -- this is SO CRAZY to the point ad nauseam. It is just as you said in your post a WEB. OOOh "what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." The really sad part is that WE can't as Parents or a Community let it go because it's time to tell the CSA, BOE, and everyone else that we EXPECT and DEMAND the very best for our children and that includes business ethnics, sound, cost- effective responsible budgetary spending, highly qualified workforce from the janitor to CSA, rigor, materials, technology EVERYTHING these kids deserve and need to maximize their potential. We simply can not stop!
Hi Renata,
Yes, demanding better is the first step, making everyone accountable is the next.
But in another matter, I was thinking that the post on question was filled until recently when the person on it was transferred to fill an interim position on a school. At least, that is what it looks to me. What I simply just don't get is the lowering of qualifications two weeks after the title was created. What was that all about?
Renata,
FYI, the first job title is actually dated 2007. You have it typed as 2008. Just thought you might want to edit that.
Also in reading this job description, do you get the feeling that this position is actually a supervisor position, yet they do not supervise anyone. Another thing I found amusing...the first job description (with certification) and the second have the exact same pay scale. How is it that we are paying the same scale to someone who is uncertified?
Oh, and by the way, very funny!! LOL Did you think I would miss that little inside joke?
Talk soon!

Maria -- there was someone doing the job they just were not "hired" for/under that job title...
And that's the $1,000,000 question???!!!
Hi Renata,
Thanks for the answer, and the discrepancy on titles and how filled this position is exactly what had me going on circles over and over again without looking at the dates:
I saw Coordinator, I knew the organizational chart said something else, I knew the person holding that position was no coordinator, to my knowledge anyway, and I even requested the job description for Principal of SP & DA, I didn't get it, now I know why. But the question remains and while some would like to blame Dr. Gallon, all the movements were made and approved prior to his arrival.
I hope we can get a clarification on this.
Thanks again.
Renata,
Another thing I find amusing...this job requires a Masters Degree. Does the person in this job have a Masters? I don't believe so.

Hey Laura -- I don't follow you regarding the dates. I did NOT add dates to the docs... Do you mean the link dates? Those represent the agenda dates. Help me out here...
And I knew you wouldn't miss it. LOL
My dear Laura -- what do you think we've been paying for...read through the BOE agenda's and have a look see at all the reimbursement $$$ we've delved/doled out.
Renata,
I know we've been doling out all of those monies, but...whenever I've applied for a job, I couldn't get the job without the qualifications. Why is it that the district isn't looking for personnel who ALREADY fit the description, instead of making someone fit the description by allowing the taxpayers to pay for it.
As for the dates, that was my screw-up. I was a little tired last night.
Have a great day!
Laura
So according to the article. These girls do not have a master's?
Seems they were trying like crazy to GET their Masters (at the expense of the district) in order to get these certifications before it all came out. Obviously it didn't work out in their favor. Normally things don't work out for you when you're doing them in such a SLIMY manner. Reminds me of an old childhood cartoon saying "if Woody had gone RIGHT to the police - this would NEVER have happened".
