At the Manhattan Beach Unified School District Board of Trustees meeting on Nov. 7, the Board approved the new director of information technology position, which will be a district-level job.
The director of information technology will oversee the current Technology Department. The position’s creation comes during a school year filled with technological changes, such as the iPads and wireless routers being brought to Costa.
According to the job description, the director will report to MBUSD Superintendent Dr. Michael Matthews and will be responsible for “organizing, planning, and supervising the operation of the Information Technology Department.” The annual salary for this position will range from $82,425 to $100,283
“This position was created in response to the growing need to provide consistent technology services and expertise throughout the district,” MBUSD Director of Human Resources Kathy Hall said in a statement on mbusd.org.
In February, the Board approved the position of systems analyst to create and analyze MBUSD databases. However, no candidate could be found, and the position was abandoned, according to Hall. The director position was posted Dec. 7 and will remain until Dec. 21.
“We now screen applications, conduct testing, create an eligibility list for approval by the Personnel Commission and hold interviews,” Hall said. “I expect the director to be selected by mid-January 2013.”
