Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda, which included minutes, multiple warrants and a slate of new hires. The superintendent reported most classroom positions are filled but the district remains actively recruiting a Grade 7–8 math teacher for Berry City and outlined mentorship and provisional-license steps for non-licensed hires.
The Barre Unified Union School District #97 board approved the consent agenda, including regular and special meeting minutes, multiple warrants and a list of newly hired staff.
The superintendent told trustees the district had filled many special-education positions and other classroom roles but is still seeking a licensed Grade 7–8 math teacher for Berry City. The superintendent said district HR is developing clearer timelines and expectations for applicants who do not yet hold full licensure and emphasized a strong mentorship program for new hires.
Motion: approve consent agenda including warrants (including July 30 warrants provided to the board). Mover: Alice. Second: Giuliano. Outcome: motion passed on roll-call vote after a board member requested some minute corrections be returned to staff for review.
Board members commended HR for new-hire orientation work and asked for follow-up on licensure timelines and mentoring supports so teachers are ready for the first week of school.
