Midway ISD board approves 15.5 new staff positions to reduce teacher workload
Summary
Midway ISD leaders said the school board approved 15.5 new staff positions for the coming year, added to five elementary-level positions approved in February, with most roles designated for classroom support to ease teacher workload and support student programs.
Dr. Chris Allen, superintendent of MIDWAY ISD, said the district—s board voted to approve 15.5 staff positions for the next school year, in addition to five positions the board approved at the elementary level in February. Allen said nearly all of the newly approved positions are focused on classroom support.
The approval is intended to address teacher workload and support program growth, Allen said, repeating feedback he said the district hears from teachers. He described the move as aimed at allowing teachers to manage their work more effectively and said students would be "the ultimate benefactors" of the additional staffing. The superintendent did not provide details on the specific job titles or the budgetary source for the positions in the remarks.
