Summary
The personnel committee listed ongoing hiring for the 2025–26 school year including a school nurse, special-education teacher and leave-replacement positions; it reported that two security-aide positions for 2025–26 have been filled and PLC fairs are ongoing.
The Watchung Hills Regional High School District’s personnel committee on May 28 reviewed staffing needs for the 2025–26 school year, reported continued interviews for several vacancies and confirmed that two security-aide positions have been filled.
The list of vacancies included a school nurse, a special-education teacher, a part-time 10-month secretary, a leave-replacement special-education teacher, a leave-replacement art teacher and a leave-replacement chemistry teacher. Committee members said interviews would continue for the school nurse, the special-education vacancy and the part-time secretary, and that the leave-replacement positions were expected to be challenging to fill. Administrators said contingency plans could include assigning 0.2 coverage using existing faculty if necessary.
The committee also reported that teachers presented one of two professional learning community (PLC) fairs on May 28, with the second fair scheduled for June 4. PLCs are small teacher teams that study and present work on instructional practice, assessments and student learning outcomes.
Separately, the committee said two security-aid positions have been filled for the 2025–26 school year. The committee noted ongoing personnel work will be discussed further at upcoming meetings on June 3 and June 17.
