Summary

The assistant superintendent presented a staffing and recruitment report showing administrators and professional staff counts, demographic breakdowns, vacancies by work group and district retention strategies.

Assistant Superintendent Dr. Stoker presented the district’s employee and staffing profile for the 2025–26 school year, outlining recruitment, onboarding and retention practices and giving demographic snapshots for administrators, professional staff, paraprofessionals/LPNs, custodial/maintenance, and administrative assistants/school police officers.

Key figures presented included 17 administrators (all positions filled) and 132 professional staff plus one vacancy; the presentation noted an added elementary assistant principal position for the 2025–26 year. Dr. Stoker and presenters described internal career pathways (support staff to professional staff, paraprofessionals returning as teachers, and promotion from principals to district administrators) and ongoing recruitment channels including local advertising, college fairs, LinkedIn and word‑of‑mouth.

Board members asked about turnover in paraprofessional/LPN roles, which the administration said is higher than other groups but that the district’s overall turnover rate remains lower than many districts. Administration noted they gather staff feedback on onboarding and provide cross‑department onboarding support.

The assistant superintendent concluded the staffing profile presentation and invited questions; the board did not take action on the staffing report but will use the data in upcoming staffing and budget planning.
