District expects neutral staffing plan amid roughly 35 known retirements and resignations
Summary
Human resources staff told the committee the district is planning a neutral staffing plan for next year while recruiting aggressively after about 35 retirements/resignations; outreach includes earlier postings, job fairs and partnerships with UW‑Whitewater to create resident teacher pathways.
Scott Garner updated the committee on staffing projections and recruitment efforts on March 3, saying the district is planning a relatively neutral staffing plan while recruiting to replace roughly 35 retirements and known resignations.
Garner said the district is meeting with building‑level leaders to finalize schedules and staffing and is posting vacancies earlier to attract candidates. He reported a spring job fair with “great candidates” and noted the district’s tactic of partnering with UW‑Whitewater to recruit resident teachers and create interns who may convert to hires.
The district also plans to attend regional job fairs (for example, CESA2) and to present a staffing plan to the board in April. Garner said the 35 figure includes roughly 28–29 retirements and six known resignations; noncertified retirement rules and timing differ from certified staff. He emphasized that the district is asking principals to watch for student teachers who might be strong hires and that early posting is intended to secure quality candidates.
Board members asked how the current number compares with past years; Garner said retirements were “pretty close” to prior years and that the district will bring more specifics in next month’s update.
