Ector County Independent School District trustees unanimously approved four administrative hires Tuesday evening, including a district athletic coordinator position.
Trustees approved Permian High gymnastics coach Todd Vesely as athletic coordinator; Janet Baker, a former ECISD educator and recent part-time worker for ECISD, as the district instructional officer; Jill Lankford, instructional services director at Odessa High, as Hays Magnet Academy principal; and KOSA-TV reporter/anchor Mike Barker as the ECISD-TV Channel 10 manager.
The district instructional officer position was filled to replace retiring administrator Alma Guerrero, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. Guerrero retires June 30.
Former Hays principal Tisa Hawkins was moved to the assistant principal position at Carver Early Education Center earlier this month.
