The Hamilton County Board of Education approved updated job descriptions and job classes for seven positions and confirmed that no new positions were requested.

Doctor Brown, presenting the administrative item, said the district was submitting updated job descriptions to align with board policy and the regular three-year review cycle. The seven job descriptions included: Budget Analyst → Position Control Analyst; Budget Specialist → Position Control Manager; Help Desk Technician → IT Generalist; Purchasing Agent Assistant → Procurement Specialist; an updated Risk Management Technician description; an updated Educational Diagnostician description (state-required school-side update); and an updated Title IX coordinator job class.

"These are current positions. There's been updated language; I'm not asking for any new positions," Doctor Brown said.

Board members asked about budgetary effects. Doctor Brown said the job classes are already captured in the FY '26 budget and provided example budget figures: the position control analyst job class is budgeted at $75,900, with a stated minimum salary of $50,000 and a maximum band of $154,000 (range provided to reflect hiring flexibility). "Without looking at the resume, there's no way for me to tell you exactly what that individual's going to make," Brown said, noting that applicants’ qualifications will determine placement within the budgeted range.

After brief discussion, the board voted by roll call with one member opposed (Miss Thomas); the motion carried.

The board did not add new headcount as part of this approval; administrators said the changes would update titles and descriptions in the district’s personnel database and org chart once board approval is recorded.
