Mexico Central Schools is hiring a COVID-19 coordinator, a temporary position approved for at least 18 months of work to provide 24/7 response to the virus and how it affects the district.
The job was posted on OLAS on Sept. 30, with a start date for the position as Oct. 15.
The person Mexico hires will be responsible for coordinating all aspects of COVID-19 quarantine and contact tracing requirements for the district. Work is performed under direct supervision of the superintendent.
The new position of COVID-19 coordinator makes the new hire the point-person for local health departments as they track cases across the school district. The candidate must be able to communicate with building staff and parents on the status of COVID-19 cases and contact tracing.
Central Square Central School District recently selected a COVID coordinator for their district. The candidate is set for the board to approve at the next board meeting. The position is needed immediately and is also a 24/7 assignment that pays $70,000 a year.
Superintendent Tom Colabufo says that the job is a minimum of a 16 hour work day, meaning it would be less than $16 per hour if it was broken down hourly.
