Board designates secondary science at McDermott as critical‑needs to fill staffing gap
Summary
The board approved a critical‑needs designation for a secondary science position at McDermott (a small or remote site). The district said a returning teacher with prior service at McDermott requires the designation for certification/placement; motion carried by voice vote.
The board approved a designation declaring a secondary science position at McDermott as a critical‑needs vacancy so the district can hire or designate a returning teacher to fill the role.
District staff reported that the teacher identified to serve at McDermott has taught there previously and has supported the district intermittently; the critical‑need designation will allow the district to complete required paperwork and return the teacher to the classroom. The presenter confirmed this is not a recently retired employee; the teacher has provided part‑time or substitute service and is being engaged to return to fill a classroom assignment.
A motion to approve the designation was made, seconded and carried. The district said it would file required paperwork immediately and proceed to place the teacher in the science assignment at McDermott.
Nut graf: The critical‑needs designation is an administrative personnel action to ensure a certified teacher is available at a remote or small site (McDermott) and to enable required district hiring/placement procedures.
Ending: District staff will file the paperwork and confirm the teacher’s placement and certification paperwork.
