The Board of School Trustees for South Bend Community School Corporation approved the job description for the new dean of students/athletics position during a meeting Monday, according to a report by ABC News affiliate WBND.
The new position will replace athletic director positions at the city's four public high schools. Those four positions were eliminated as part of an athletic department restructuring plan announced on March 4.
