Board hears HR report showing about 61 open positions; ELL and special education vacancies largest categories
Summary
Human Resources reported roughly 61 open positions districtwide, with the largest categories in ELL (about 20) and special education (about 19); staff said most openings are budgeted and part of multi‑year hiring plans.
Board members received a human resources update showing the district had roughly 61 open positions and that English‑language‑learner (ELL) and special‑education positions made up the largest share of vacancies.
District HR staff cited a breakdown they said would be clarified in future reports: about 12 general‑education classroom positions, roughly 20 ELL positions, 19 special education positions and about 10 non‑classroom teacher positions. HR staff said many of the added positions are budgeted and part of a multi‑year plan initiated by an ELL and special‑education task force, with hiring staged over a five‑year trajectory. The district noted it is about a year behind schedule on that plan and that fully filling all newly budgeted positions by August was unlikely; staff estimated realistically filling roughly 10 of the ELL and 10 of the SPED vacancies before school year start.
Board members asked for a more detailed, spreadsheet-style listing of open positions in future reports to improve clarity. HR staff also explained some subject-area specifics, such as an extra Spanish position budgeted to restore higher‑level Spanish offerings next year and a middle‑school dual‑language position the district has struggled to fill for multiple years.
The board approved the Human Resources Report as presented; no direct staffing actions or policy changes were made at the meeting.
