District outlines staffing vacancies, hires and teacher residency outcomes
Summary
District HR presented current vacancies and recruitment activity, named HR team members, previewed a principal recruitment session, and reported results from the teacher residency program including two residents returning as regular teachers.
District human resources presented a snapshot of current and projected staffing needs for the coming year and described active recruitment efforts during the State of the District report.
Claudia, a district staff member in human resources, told trustees the vacancy list is a moving target as staff make decisions about staying or leaving and that administrators have conducted multiple interview rounds and reference checks. She said an important upcoming session will fill the principal position at McKinnon Elementary.
Human resources staff named members of the HR team who have supported recruitment efforts: Adriana Albanil (HR analyst), Mylan Ngouyan (HR specialist) and Daisy Losa (HR coordinator). The district said interviews are ongoing and positions will continue to change as offers are accepted or declined.
Special education staffing projections were presented: the district projected needing four occupational therapists (OTs) based on student numbers and currently has two district‑hired OTs with plans to contract for two more positions. For speech and language services the district projected seven SLPs and reported three district‑hired SLPs plus four contracted SLPs. The district said it will propose a 2.4 contract for Speech‑Language Pathology Assistants (SLIPAs) for board approval.
HR also described the teacher residency partnership with Alder Graduate School of Education and Monterey County Office of Education (MCOE). Residency participants hold a bachelor’s degree, spend four days a week in a mentor classroom, complete online coursework and earn a master’s degree and credential after one year. The district said three residents participated this year (two elementary, one middle school) and two residents will return as regular teachers; it projects two residents for the upcoming year.
No formal personnel votes were recorded in the transcript excerpt; staff indicated they will bring contract approvals (for example the 2.4 SLIPA contract) to the board for consideration.
