District human resources staff reported open positions across the district and described active recruitment activities including job fairs and outreach to educator‑preparation programs.

Why it matters: Staffing vacancies influence classroom instruction, after‑school programs, transportation and food services and can affect student programming if positions remain unfilled.

Open positions: HR staff said the district currently has about four elementary teacher vacancies, five paraprofessional vacancies at elementary campuses and two after‑school program openings. At the secondary level the district listed one middle‑school teacher opening, one middle‑school paraprofessional opening and ten high‑school teacher openings (seven at the main high school, two at the ninth‑grade center and one at another campus). The district also reported three open bus driver positions, four auxiliary operations vacancies, two custodial openings, two grounds openings, and 11 child‑nutrition openings plus an operations supervisor vacancy. Central office reported one receptionist vacancy.

Recruitment efforts: HR staff said the district recently participated in local job fairs, will attend a University of Houston job fair and is working with educator‑preparation programs to identify candidates seeking alternative certification. HR said it sends weekly candidate lists from preparation programs to principals for consideration.

What’s next: HR staff noted that the district compares favorably to surrounding districts for candidate interest but acknowledged that certified teacher recruitment remains a challenge in some fields and that the district will continue outreach and job‑fair participation.
