Board members asked the administration to pull the staff changes and leaves item from the consent calendar for discussion and clarification. Human-resources/administration staff explained the majority of listed positions were budgeted replacements; positions labeled "new" included Community Education "Fun and Friends" staffing tied to increased enrollment, a middle‑school official, Riverside site needs (including mandated 1‑on‑1 aides), an expansion of the substitute pool, and a substitute for a regional coop.

A director asked why some items were marked "new" rather than "replacement." HR staff said the label reflects how positions are tracked in district systems and that some positions were newly filled this year after recruitment issues. Board members requested clearer, larger-format reporting (certified vs. hourly, school-by-school or category breakdown) so future packets are easier to parse.

After discussion a motion to approve the staff changes was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
