Wichita Falls ISD approves applicant pool; HR reports eight teacher vacancies and additional openings
Summary
The board approved the proposed applicant pool and reviewed personnel reports; the district's human resources director reported eight teacher vacancies and roughly 22 other vacancies, with long‑term substitutes filling several classrooms.
The Wichita Falls Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the district's proposed applicant pool and received a report on recent resignations and retirements.
The district's human resources director presented the list of resignations and retirements and explained the proposed applicant pool that the board was asked to approve. The board moved and seconded the item and approved it by a recorded unanimous vote (7‑0).
During the staffing report the HR director said the district currently has eight teacher vacancies; other positions — summarized in the packet as about 22 openings — remain unfilled and long‑term substitutes are covering some classes.
Trustees asked follow‑up questions about class coverage and vacancies; the HR director said the district is deploying long‑term substitutes and continuing recruitment efforts.
Why this matters: Teacher and staff vacancies affect classroom coverage and instruction. Approving an applicant pool helps HR expedite hiring when candidates are identified.
Next steps: Human resources will continue recruitment and provide updates at future meetings.
