Did someone leave or is this a new position?
There seems to be a rapid expansion of Outreach, first with Executive Director going from part-time to full time and now a search for a Program Director.

I think this is a new position. Last time I looked at the Outreach roster, it included just a couple people, including Birks, the executive director. The other position may have been clerical or admin.

It's not the clinicians that are the suspected problem. Kinda sad to see this. Shame on MtLSD and its school board. Can something good happen soon (in addition to he Greek food festival?)?

The qualifications required are very interesting when you consider that they report into the Exxecutive Director.

Not a new position. Someone quit or got fired.
