Galveston Independent School District Board of Education 

Galveston Independent School District Superintendent Lynn Hale proposed the creation of six new administrative positions: assistant superintendent for administration, executive director for curriculum, chief performance officer, director for special services, director for student services and executive director for finance.

Hale said she hopes to fill the positions with current GISD employees who are among the 22 whose jobs will be eliminated in her cost savings program.

The board of education will consider the recommendations at its March 22 meeting.
