School Board Votes to Replace Activities Director Role at High School

The Hampton-Dumont Community School District Board voted to replace the high school’s current Activities Director with an administrative position during a special Jan. 6 meeting.
 
Christi Weiser currently serves as the high school’s Activities Director and as a student advocate. (She is contracted to spend half of her time as the Activities Director and half of her time as a student advocate.) She has served as a student advocate for the district for the last seven years and this is her fifth year in the Activities Director position. She is the fifth Activities Director the district has had in the last ten years.
 
The high school’s Activities Director role will be changed to an Assistant Principal/Athletic Director position that requires an administrative license. Weiser has an athletic administration license but not an educational administration license, which means she cannot serve in the new role.
 
During the meeting, there was also discussion of having the new administrator take over the duties of the Activities Director at the middle school, but the Board decided against it.
Currently, Dustin Moorehead has a 6/8 time teaching contract and 2/8 time Activities Director position at the middle school.
 
"The 9-12 portion of the Activities Coordinator position, in which Christi Weiser held, will be restructured to be an administrative licensed position in conjunction with a 9-12 assistant principal position," HDCSD Superintendent Aaron Becker told the Chronicle Tuesday morning. "Anyone that has a school administrator license may apply. Christi Weiser has a full time student advocate role that is not impacted by this restructure."
 
When asked if Weiser's student advocate role has always been full-time or if it's been changed, he said it's always been full-time.
