Following an investigation of the athletic program, Highline Public Schools administrators have posted job openings for a new district athletic director and Evergreen High School campus athletic director.
Jackie Lewis, the district's athletic director is on leave following revelations that Jayson Boehm, a substitute Highline Field stadium manager, had given physicals to male students without appropriate medical supervision. Boehm, who had been hired to provide first aid at athletic events, was not licensed to give physicals. The district fired him.
Daylene Boehm, Jayson Boehm's sister, was also placed on leave. The district is now advertising an opening for her former position.
The district is also advertising for a coordinator of athletics, which is a lower job classification than district athletic director, according to spokeswoman Catherine Carbone Rogers.
However, the job is a full-time position. Lewis served part-time as athletic director.
He was also an assistant principal at Highline High School. Whether Lewis returns to Highline High or the Highline district is on hold, pending the conclusion of the investigation and an athletic program audit.
While the investigation was not complete, Rogers said administrators concluded the district should "post the (athletic coordinator) position and open it up to other people."
She said officials decided to post the job as the school year is ending because "this is the time of the year when people move around in the school world."
Annual salary range for the coordinator position is listed as $90, 861-$102,266.
The district has also reposted the Evergreen head football coach position.
The district had hired one of last year's Evergreen assistant football coaches as head coach. But the offer was rescinded when it was discovered that a level three sex offender was working as a volunteer during spring football practice. The new coach had not ensured the volunteer's background check had been completed, according to district officials.
The district is also advertising for two assistant football coaches at Evergreen. District job openings are posted at www.hsd401.org.
