Board approves three hires including director of special education
Summary
The board approved recommendations to hire a new director of special education and two classroom teachers, after committee interviews and vetting.
The board voted to accept the administration’s recommendations for three personnel hires.
Superintendent and administrators screened and interviewed candidates for the director of special education and two classroom teacher openings. Chris Andrisky reported that the candidates were vetted by the hiring committee, which included administrators and board members; administrators recommended hiring Brittney Thompson as Director of Special Education, Madeline Martin as a classroom teacher and Laura Jenkins Batstakis as a classroom teacher.
Board members who had taken part in the interview process praised the candidate pools. The board moved and approved the recommendations in non-public session and recorded approvals on the public record at the meeting.
Why it matters: Filling these positions addresses instructional and service needs for the next school year; the director of special education role is a key leadership position for ensuring IEP compliance and special-education service delivery.
