Anderson: Story was wrong, school district has 3 open positions

Posted

I wanted to let you know that Apache Junction Unified School District does not have four open positions.

We have three positions open due to vacancies:

  • Executive Director of Business Services --- Cindy Reichert is retiring.
  • Director of Communications and Community Engagement --- Sally Marks is retiring.
  • Network Administrator --- in 2020-21 a staff member will transfer from the tech department to a school-site position.

As for the fourth position your newspaper referenced ("4 school district jobs available, one with salary up to $109,397"), the Human Resources Technician Sub Coordinator position is not open. The Human Resources department brought an updated job description for this position to the Governing Board for approval. I am afraid that due to this article the employee in this position will question her employment.

I directed the Human Resources department to update all job descriptions over the next year. Job descriptions have not been updated for many years and the majority of them do not accurately reflect hourly rate range, salary, and/or duties. Each month we will bring several job descriptions to be approved by the Governing Board.

In the future, I ask that you please reach out to our communications department or myself to confirm the information. I intend to make sure that all information reported out about AJUSD is truthful and accurate.

Dr. Krista L. Anderson
Superintendent
Apache Junction Unified School District No. 43
