DeSoto schools look at streamlining personnel
HERNANDO, Miss. (AP) – DeSoto County school leaders are exploring ways to streamline jobs in the district’s central office as a cost-saving measure.
It’s part of new Superintendent Cory Uselton’s emerging personnel strategy.
The Commercial Appeal reports school board members got a glimpse of it Thursday in a personnel report that called for eliminating two vacated positions, a clerical position in special projects and a bookkeeper in the purchasing department.
Uselton said the decision not to fill the jobs was part of a strategy to save money.
Uselton said there’s no timetable for addressing personnel issues; rather, he said it’s an ongoing task that he plans to review continually.
The DeSoto school district is Mississippi’s largest.
