CONWAY — With Jim Hill, longtime director of administrative services poised to retire Oct. 2, the position is being restructured as a business administrator for SAU 9.
At the SAU 9 Board’s Aug. 22 meeting, Superintendent Aimee Frechette unveiled a draft plan to combine two administrative positions — Hill’s position and the director of budget and finance — into one. Going from two administrators to one would realize an overall financial savings, according to Frechette.
