High School Athletic Director's/Coaches Teaching Responsibilities

Featured Replies

I've always been under the impression that high school ADs and coaches teach a full schedule AND do their other gig.

 

It seems like in some districts that's not the case at all.

 

So let's say the AD teaches one or two classes. How are they paid?

 

How about a coach that teaches less than a full schedule?

 

How common is this?

I would say a lot depends on the size of the district. Ashland and Russell Independents I think have full-time ADs. They may have other administrative duties. I'm pretty sure at one point in time Russell's did, but not sure about the last few years.

 

Smaller schools like St. Pat, Augusta, and Bracken Co. don't have full-time ADs. I think Augusta and St. Pat have teacher's in that role, with maybe an extra planning period. Bracken's principal serves as AD.

 

I think Bell County's assistant principal serves as AD. So it just varies.

 

I'm sure pay varies from district-to-district and depends on how much he/she teaches, or if it's considered a full-time adinistrative position. I would say at smaller schools where it's not full time, they pay they with either a stipend or extended days.

Saint Pat's Finance Director serves as their AD.

 

I also agree with UK Fanatic about the last paragraph.

At GRC our AD is a full time job and his office is in the Central Office. Our Basketball coach is over attendance at GRC, he does not teach any classes. Both are paid teachers salaries, as both have teaching certifications. Coach H also gets paid for coaching, but I am not sure what that is.

 

I agree with the above post that it all depends on the size of the school system.

Over "attendance?" What does that entail?

Really alot as we have over 1600 students at GRC. Some of the duties include:Record and keeps track of each students absence and tardy's,which are excused and unexcused absences and deals with them according to the school hand book. Goes to court for those kids that have missed a excess amount of days. Phone calls to all parents if a child is absent that day.

 

This is not a complete list, but a short list of his major duties.

Depends on the size of the school and district. In Kenton Co. When I was there the AD was half time and taught the other half. They were paid teachers salary plus AD stipend. In Covington, AD is full time and administers all sports in the district K-12. There is an elementary director that reports to the AD. When I was in Trimble and Franklin Co. They were half AD, half teacher with AD stipends. Could have changed though in the years after I left.

Generally this is a truant officer. Since funding in public schools is extremely dependent on attendance, this job can pay for itself if the person increases attendance by 1-2%. He probably reports to the Director of Pupil Personnel and principal. Lots of days in court and home visits is usually involved.

Dont want to change the thread, but at SK, Marksberry is the AD, the lunch room monitor and the FB coach. Oh Boy.

Bingo. More than you might think if it's the right position. Court, school population/attendance stats for grants, drop out rates, homebound school, etc.

Sounds like a good job.

Mike Key at Lloyd is the AD/Assistant Principal/Head Basketball Coach

I was under the impression that about 5 years ago that most 16th region schools had full time ADs, except Rose Hill. They could teach maybe one class, but I am pretty sure Russell, Boyd, Ashland, Greenup, Lewis, East, West were considered full time at one time.

If your an AD you need most of the day off. Not like it used to be, as you deal with a lot more - Title IX etc.

 

Not a fan of football coaches being AD, AT ALL.

 

Most schools in 15th region outside the really small ones, AD teaches only about half the day, some none at all.

NewCath AD, Rob Detzel teaches a few English classes.
