The Washington School Board approved an agreement to share superintendent Jeff Dicks beginning next school year with WACO Community Schools. Dicks explained the districts are working together because school funding is low and Washington will be saving over $100,000 with this.

Also, he has experience working as a shared superintendent and he thinks it is manageable. The superintendent sharing will be split with 70% of his time at Washington and 30% at WACO, or 3.5 days and 1.5 days each week. He added they’ve been working on this for a couple of months and there is no underlying plan.

The board also approved the sharing of the operations director. The 28E agreement will now be voted on by the WACO school board later this month to become official.
