Miss Gardner told the committee that Kelly Education (Kelly Services) is the district's substitute-provider partner and that the company is recruiting substitutes for William Penn School District. She provided contact information in the meeting: a phone number listed in the transcript as '+1 855' (incomplete) and an email ednerrecruiting@kellyservices.com. The district asked members to refer interested substitutes to Kelly.

A committee member asked whether recently retired teachers had been contacted about substituting; Miss Gardner said the district provided those names to Kelly at the start of the school year (August/September) and that retirees were the first group forwarded for substitute opportunities.

Miss Gardner also described the volunteer sign-up for interview panels: parents and teachers may add their names via an online form; names are drawn at random when panels are needed and the district will contact volunteers if selected. She encouraged committee members and community participants to sign up.

Miss Gardner announced the next personnel committee meeting will be held virtually on Jan. 28, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. Committee members discussed a potential calendar typo for a separate meeting date and agreed to correct the calendar as needed.
