The new hire will focus on 5-12 instrumental.” Kaitlin Bradley has already been working for FPS this school year. Superintendent Stephen Grizzle told FJN that Bradley was a paid internship. Dr. Jill Timmons, Ph.D., NCSP, told FJN, “She has done an excellent job for us and will continue to do great work next year in this position. Right now, FPS isn’t looking to hire another school psych, we had the position posted for 3-4 years before we found Kaitlin, and school psychs are incredibly difficult to come by.” The board also approved the resignation of three staff members: Odessa Ambrose, LIFE Special Education Teacher, and Linda Brown, Junior-Senior High School Teacher, at the end of the 2021-2022 school year and Dr. Timmons at the end of the 2021-2022 contract year.The position the school has posted to replace Dr. Timmons is the Director of Special Education.
