OXFORD â Granville County Public Schools officials have downsized their central office staff to save money.
A special school board meeting on Tuesday saw members approve the elimination of an assistant superintendent position, the reduction from 16 to 12 of the number of director-level salaried positions in the central office, a restructuring of the entire Curriculum & Instruction and Student Services Department and a shift of several district-based positions to school-based positions
The board also agreed to the use of grant funding to pay for school-based positions.
âJust as our board is taking on the difficult task of school reorganization, so too must we streamline staffing in our central services,â Superintendent Alisa McLean said, alluding to the ongoing discussion of another round of school consolidation. âThese changes will also eliminate our reliance on state and local dollars. We must capture efficiencies and reduce staffing while maintaining quality support and excellent services for our students and staff.â
