Board reviews unusually large personnel report as members and staff flag turnover
Summary
Board members and staff discussed a personnel report showing numerous resignations across roles; directors said paraprofessional turnover remains highest and some staff cited space, program and long-range facility timelines as reasons for leaving.
Board members reviewed a personnel report that listed a notable number of resignations, retirements and role changes across the Manitowoc district.
Board member Mike (surname not specified) said he noticed about 14 resignations and asked whether retirements with long service were being captured. District staff responded that paraprofessional positions have had the most movement, while teacher and administrative attrition remained comparatively low. One Lincoln High School instructor described teaching challenges tied to limited shop and tech-ed footprint, saying the facility constraints make it difficult to teach the curriculum he wants and that he expects major facilities improvements could be eight to ten years away.
Board members discussed role-name changes in the personnel report — for example, SFA facilitators becoming instructional support teachers and SFA teacher/interventionist roles converting to student support teachers — and asked for clarity on position titles. The personnel report was approved separately from the consent agenda; the board took a voice vote and the motion carried.
