Summary

Administration reported 37 certified positions filled and 11 certified openings remaining (including speech pathologists, high-school French, fourth-grade and special-education positions), described recruitment status and classified openings, and previewed a new job-fair setup.

District administrators gave a staffing update, saying the hiring season has filled dozens of positions while several vacancies remain.

The administrator said 37 certified positions have been filled but explained internal transfers inflate fill counts; the district still has 11 certified openings to fill, including two speech pathologists, high-school French, two upper-elementary fourth-grade positions, special education positions and a high-school EL teacher. The report broke out recruiting activity and application volumes: for some roles (band, social studies) the district has robust applicant pools; others are harder to fill. Classified openings include custodial, transportation paraprofessional and paraprofessional roles.

Why it matters: Staffing affects classroom capacity and program operations; board members asked about the district's plan for hard-to-fill roles and a new job-fair setup that administrators plan to deploy in the region.

Next steps: Administrators will continue recruiting, provide a final FTE-focused report at the end of hiring season and unveil the improved job-fair setup next week as conditions allow.
