Stillwater Schools Restructure Administration, Acknowledge Long-Serving Staff
Stillwater Area Public Schools made significant administrative changes and approved new contracts aimed at enhancing staff retention and competitive wages during its latest board meeting.
Stillwater Area Public Schools announced a significant administrative restructuring affecting its Special Services department and publicly acknowledged the extensive contributions of Paul Lee, who served as Director of Special Services for over a decade, during its January 7, 2025, School Board Meeting. This change, cited as a direct outcome of broader budget adjustments, will integrate the Special Services department under the purview of the Chief Academic Officer, Caitlin Willis.
The only thing I I have tonight is I want to acknowledge the years of service of Paul Lee, who has been our director of special services uh since 2013, and as part of the budget cutting process, we've done some readjusting with the administration, and special services will now fall under the umbrella of our chief academic officer, who's Cait- Caitlin Willis.
Yeah, I would say the board would echo those comments as well, and um he will definitely be missed. I know policy he's done phenomenal things with for the board, so thank you for that.
The administrative shift represents a strategic move to streamline operations and optimize resource allocation within the district’s existing structure. Alongside this restructuring, the Board also focused on supporting other vital staff groups through new contractual agreements.
