Summary
Bruce Washington, president of the non-instructional personnel association, told the board that district staff morale is 'real, real low,' cited slow response times from support offices and said some employees view recent raises as insufficient.
Bruce Washington, president of the non-instructional personnel association (NIPSCO) for Seminole County, told the school board during public comment that morale among district staff is "real, real low." He said employees feel underrecognized and expressed frustration with delays in getting responses from district support offices.
Washington said some staff view the recent raises as insufficient and reported that employees sometimes consider leaving district employment. He also noted that some district staff have the option to work from home two days a week and described communication challenges that can arise when employees try to reach support offices remotely.
The board did not take action in response to the remarks; the comment was delivered during the allotted public-comment time.
Washington concluded by urging the board to provide more support for employees who serve students and families across the district.
