Duties require reviewing detailed records, communicating with varied audiences, traveling among district locations as assigned, and occasionally moving assessment materials or equipment weighing up to 25 pounds. Work outside normal hours may be required during testing windows, reporting deadlines, public releases, governing-board meetings, or incidents. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
