The Concord School District board approved a slate of personnel actions, confirmed new hires and received an update on remaining vacancies.

The board accepted confirmations for existing teachers moving between assignments and a set of new hires across multiple schools, including speech-and-language pathologists and new career and technical education staff. The board also approved the presented slate of fall coaches; a small number of coaching positions remain open.

Superintendent Murphy said John Fabrizio's student-services role will be covered on an interim basis by Jenny Mosca, contracted for three days a week, through October while the district updates the job description and plans a reposting in late August. Murphy described Mosca as experienced in special education and Medicaid work; she began supporting the district immediately.

Staff reported ongoing hiring needs: about 28 instructional-assistant (educational-assistant) vacancies districtwide, several special-education openings, occupational therapy hours, bus drivers and some custodial and food-service positions. The district said it has two strong candidates for the director of transportation and expects to fill remaining vacancies as tutors and grant-funded positions are finalized.

The board voted to accept the personnel slate; motions passed by voice vote. No public vote counts were recorded in the meeting minutes provided.
