The San Felipe-Del Rio CISD board of trustees approved a new chief compliance and accountability officer position, the associated job description and evaluation form, and updated the district compensation plan to add the position at pay grade 9.

Why it matters: the position is intended to provide direct supervision and support for campus principals and to ensure district initiatives and state requirements are implemented and evaluated consistently across campuses.

Administration recommended adding the new position to the 2024–25 budget. Administration described the role as supervising and evaluating principals, coaching teachers, supporting campus improvement plans and aiding curriculum and data‑dashboard implementation. The recommendation described the role as "direct supervision and support for all principals." (presentation of job description and duties.)

Board member Ms. Orfield moved to approve the new position; Mr. Ramirez seconded the motion. The motion carried. The board then approved the job description and evaluation form for the position (motion by Mr. Alito, second by Mr. Almaraz; motion carries) and later approved an updated district compensation plan that added the chief compliance and accountability officer as pay grade 9 (motion by Sue Alindo, seconded by Michelle Morales; motion carries unanimously).

Administration said the position will support implementation of district initiatives and principal supervision but clarified leadership training remains a cabinet and superintendent responsibility.

The board took these personnel and compensation steps during the budget workshop; staff will incorporate the new position into personnel and compensation planning for the coming year.
