Staffing update: district hires, grow‑your‑own partnerships and remaining vacancies
Summary
District HR reported 22 new teachers hired for 2025–26, a grow‑your‑own partnership with Midlands University that yielded five tuition‑to‑hire spots, and nine remaining vacancies with continued recruitment efforts.
The district’s staffing director updated the board on recruitment, partnerships and vacancies.
Mr. Mills said the district partnered with Midlands University (Fremont) to create a grow‑your‑own teacher pipeline and that five candidate spots were allocated; candidates will apply to the program and begin classes June 2, with the cohort scheduled to be available to teach in August 2027. Mills said the district may request additional backup slots.
He reported the district had hired 22 new teachers for the 2025–26 year, moved or hired nine administrators internally and still listed nine open teaching positions (primarily at the elementary level). Mills said recent last‑minute changes had reopened the journalism position and that district recruiters continue outreach to candidates, including internal para‑to‑teacher conversions.
Mills said teacher certification reciprocity across states has eased hiring and that the district’s NDE certification officer has been responsive to process requests. He said the district will continue grow‑your‑own initiatives and said he expected more hires ahead of the fall start.
