Board unanimously approves unrequested leave and releases probationary teachers
Summary
The Stillwater Area Public Schools Board approved an unrequested leave of absence for a tenured staff member and voted to release several probationary teachers as part of staffing adjustments tied to projected FTE availability.
The Stillwater Area Public Schools Board approved two personnel resolutions during the meeting.
Unrequested leave: the board approved a resolution placing a tenured staff member on unrequested leave of absence because the district reported it lacked 0.2 FTE in the employee’s license area. The administration explained the leave places the staff member on the internal recall list; if appropriate FTE becomes available during the recall period the employee would be offered reassignment. The roll call vote was recorded as unanimous.
Probationary teacher releases: the board also approved a separate resolution to release a group of probationary teachers at the end of the school year (effective June 30). Administration said the releases are required to create space for tenured staff who have rights to assignments; officials said the number is typical for this time of year and that many released probationary teachers are eligible to reapply for posted openings. That vote was also recorded as unanimous.
Votes at a glance: - Unrequested leave of absence (tenured staff, 0.2 FTE shortfall): outcome approved, roll call unanimous. - Release of listed probationary teachers (effective June 30): outcome approved, roll call unanimous.
The administration said retirements known by February were already factored into staffing plans and that further adjustments could follow if enrollment or retirements change over the summer.
