The board eliminated the Director of Curriculum & Instruction position and hired Jennifer Spaeth-Mullis as Dean of Academics on a two-year contract starting August 1, 2026. Mullis is also assigned supplemental roles as Gifted Liaison and CIP-School Improvement, and was praised for her impact on the gifted program. This leadership change consolidates curriculum, MTSS, and gifted oversight, creating an opening for curriculum, assessment, and PD vendors to introduce solutions aligned to her academic priorities.

Role shift from Director of Curriculum to Dean of Academics plus supplemental CIP and gifted duties suggests a stronger focus on academics and school improvement under one leader.

Contract Award

Jefferson County Public Schools entered a professional services contract with Magnet Schools of America for NIMSL coaching, strategic planning, and implementation support for magnet schools. The contract was not to exceed $150,000 and runs from August 22, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The work includes a magnet blueprint, collaborative coaching, and implementation tools for ten schools. It is already awarded, but it signals follow-on magnet program support, training, and possible expansion needs.

Pre-RFP

The agenda calls for an AOD symposium planning update. AOD likely refers to alcohol and other drugs, and the item suggests the task force is still shaping the event rather than awarding work. That makes this useful for training, event support, and speaker or logistics follow-up.

Budget Planning

The agenda included a Board Plan of Improvement discussion. The item is listed as a planning discussion rather than an award or solicitation, so it points to upcoming district priorities but not a selected vendor. A seller would watch for defined initiatives, staffing needs, or funded action items that come out of the plan.
