The board approved a one-year 2024–25 district mentoring plan after SLTA representatives and other staff contributed to an updated plan now stored in the shared drive. The Chair said the group "put a group together" and that the plan addressed questions such as whether educators tenured elsewhere still need mentoring, how aides who become certified teachers would be handled, and arranging classroom visits and small amounts of release time for mentor activities.
