District reports full certificated staffing, ongoing classified and aide recruitment

District staff reported on Tuesday that Wiseburn Unified School District is fully staffed with credentialed certificated teachers for the first time in several years and that central office has filled office and classified positions; the district continues to recruit instructional aides and registered behavior technicians.

"We are, for the first time in a long time, fully staffed, with certificated teachers," said Dr. Dubose (district staff), noting that two hard-to-fill positions'a futures-plus position and a new special education position serving Transitional Kindergarten through second grade'had been filled and that most teachers participated in summer professional development. He added that the district gave late hires opportunities to participate in onboarding after enrollment changes required additional classrooms.

Dr. Dubose said office staff and classified roles are fully staffed and that two new information-technology staff members will begin Oct. 1. The district still has open positions for instructional aides and RBTs; staff said they are recruiting and using substitutes, staffing agencies and internal training pathways to meet short-term needs. "We are constantly recruiting for those positions," he said, and encouraged interested applicants to apply through EdJoin.

Staff said the staffing picture is dynamic as student needs change, particularly when students qualify for special education or additional support services. The district described a mix of approaches'including training current aides who are pursuing credentials and using temporary staffing'to ensure Individualized Education Program requirements are met while permanent hires are recruited.

The board did not vote on staffing; the presentation served as an update on workforce status and ongoing recruitment work.
