CCSD 168 announces slate of new hires for 2026-27 school year
Summary
Dr. Sarita Veil, CCSD 168 HR coordinator, presented the district—9s 2026-27 new hires, naming classroom teachers, paraprofessionals, a STEM teacher filling a retirement vacancy, an art teacher, a school nurse and a special-education secretary.
Dr. Sarita Veil, human-resources coordinator for Community Consolidated School District 168, presented a list of new hires that the district will welcome for the 2026-27 school year.
Veil introduced candidates for multiple school roles, including Nalenia Carpenter Rogers as a parent educator at Blossoms; Amber Clark, an elementary teacher with a physical-education endorsement assigned to Wagner School; Kwavius Crump as an elementary STEM teacher at Wagner (noting that the role replaces a retiring teacher); paraprofessionals joining Rickover Junior High; Brianna Burke as an art teacher at Wagner; Latoya Harris Wilson as a school nurse at Ricco Virginia High School; and Dana Thompson as a special-education secretary supporting the ACT Center. Several of the new hires made brief remarks of thanks during the presentation.
The HR report noted the district has "quite a few" new hires for the coming year and closed after Veil read the roster and described candidates—9 qualifications, which included classroom experience, special-education supports, and experience with student-centered instruction.
Why it matters: the hires fill classroom and student-support roles across CCSD 168 buildings at a time when districts are emphasizing staffing stability and services for special-education and STEM instruction. The personnel presentation was given as a formal report to the board; the district did not take separate vote in the portion of the transcript provided.
What—9s next: the board proceeded to other agenda items after Veil concluded her report.
