APPROVAL OF UPGRADE OF PRINT SERVICES SUPERVISOR
Description
The Print Shop Supervisor is essential for the smooth operations of all schools and departments within the district. The supervisor ensures that printing services are efficient, cost-effective, and meet the high-quality standards required by the district. This role oversees the processing of over 50 million copies and booklets annually for students, highlighting the importance of effective operational management and resource allocation. The supervisor manages a team responsible for handling these high-volume print jobs, ensuring that all projects are completed on time and within budget. The supervisor attends school staff meetings across the district to educate and encourage staff to utilize the print shop services effectively, ensuring that resources are maximized and staff are well-informed about the printing capabilities and processes.
Gap Analysis
The position requires a minimum of 5 years of experience in the technical operation of print equipment and cloud-based software. This expertise is crucial for managing the district’s substantial printing needs and ensuring the integration of modern technology. The supervisor is responsible for reviewing policies as needed for the print shop, ensuring that all procedures comply with current standards and regulations including copyright laws. Through efficient management and strategic planning, the supervisor has secured substantial cost savings for the district’s printing needs, allowing more resources to be allocated to educational programs and infrastructure.
Previous Outcomes
The position was slated for reclassification to reflect its increased responsibilities and the specialized skills required before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the pandemic caused significant disruptions and delays. Given the pivotal role of the Print Shop Supervisor, along with the increased responsibilities and workload due to district growth, it is essential to reclassify and increase the pay for this position.
Expected Outcomes
This change will ensure the retention of high-caliber professionals dedicated to excellence, efficiency, and fiscal responsibility, ultimately supporting the district’s mission to provide quality education and services. By investing in this key position, the district can continue to achieve significant cost savings, efficient print shop operations, and effective management of its expanding needs.
