Moving former center specialists to county positions will save some state and federal funds and save additional educator positions (as many as 11 positions). Some of the former center specialists are being moved into open educator positions beginning March 1. We do not consider this a demotion or see this affecting the individuals’ ability to apply for promotion. These individuals are highly valued faculty members, and these moves are being handled according to university policies and procedures. Recently, it was decided that specialists (from previous centers) would continue to do what they are doing and not be tagged to an EERA at this time. Once the governor’s budget is announced, then permanent assignments will be made in a county within an EERA.
