In August, Gossips published the Hudson City School District organizational charts for 2023 and 2024: "How Much Administration Is Needed?" The point of comparing the two charts was to show the increase in the tier of positions that report directly (and exclusively) to the Superintendent of Schools. A few months earlier, HCSD had hired a new administrator with the title Executive Director of Teaching and Learning.
Gossips learned about those charts because they were posted on Facebook by someone identified as "Hudson Deserves Better." Today, that same source provided this information:
Please make sure you go to the Board of Education Meeting this Tuesday! Another big hiring in Central Administration over $140,000! How can the board say a year ago we are too small of a district for an Assistant Superintendent and how we have four Central Admins making over $140,000, not including all the consultants! We cannot sustain this as taxpayers! Please come out and get this voted down and support the great Teachers of the district!
The meeting on Tuesday, September 24, takes place at 6:00 p.m. in the senior high school library and will be livestreamed on YouTube.
The district could not afford these extra administrative positions without cutting something else that they're not putting forth for comment. Was there ANY plausible explanation given at the BOE meeting as to how and/or where this hiring took place? Or even better, the reasoning behind it all.
