The principal reported the school counselor, Kelsey Eskelen, is anticipating a short‑term leave that will begin near the end of the month; interviews for a temporary replacement are underway and the principal expects to extend an offer by the end of the week.
Why it matters: The counselor’s duties include grade‑level screenings and guidance programming described in the budget discussion; board members and administrators emphasized a desire for a brief overlap so the replacement can shadow Eskelen before she departs.
Details The principal said she hopes to complete interviews this week and to offer the position so the new hire can have a short overlap period to shadow the counselor before leave. The hire is intended to be a short‑term replacement to cover the leave period.
Next steps The principal will notify the board of the hire and arrange necessary transitions and shadowing time for continuity of counseling services.
