Rockwood School District's Information Systems Staff May Reorganize

Rockwood's technology staff could operate differently in the future, if board of education directors approve top position to be upgraded at tonight's meeting.

Rockwood School District's student information system supervisor, Cathy Salter, is retiring, effective July 31.  To reposition the district's information systems department, administrators plan to recommend to directors at tonight's Rockwood board of education meeting that this supervisory position be upgraded to an information systems manager. 

Rockwood staff involved indicate the proposed recommendation will be cost-neutral for the district.

Rockwood's information systems group consists of programmers and analysts and system support staff, including support staff who report to the student information system supervisor.

As an alternative to hiring a new supervisor, administrators recommend the position be upgraded to the managerial role, and have all information systems staff report to the person in that position.

It is anticipated the manager’s salary will be about 5 percent, or $2,600 per year, more than paid to the supervisor. Administrators indicate their intent is to post the position internally only.

They stated the increased cost will be offset by the lower starting salary for the replacement of the internal candidate.
