Personnel committee reports 21 exits, dozens of hires and a summer plan for an employee handbook
Summary
Personnel chair Patrick McGowan reported 21 professional staff exits Jan.–June 2026 (13 backfilled, eight open), numerous summer hires tied to ESY and intervention programs, and a plan to draft a districtwide employee handbook over the summer.
Patrick McGowan, personnel committee chair, told the board that the committee’s exit report (January–June 2026) recorded 21 professional staff departures; 13 positions have been backfilled and eight remain open and actively recruited.
The committee outlined a summer work plan to develop a districtwide employee handbook that will standardize conduct, attendance and professional expectations; the handbook will be reviewed by the board before implementation and is not intended to replace formal board policies unless language conflicts arise.
McGowan also summarized a longer list of personnel actions slated for board approval at the June business meeting: ratified retirements and resignations, new professional and classified hires, supplemental athletic contracts, leaves of absence, terminations in limited cases, and staffing approvals for ESY and summer intervention programs (including multiple hires for summer IEP writing, testing and early‑intervention services).
The personnel committee reported consensus in support of the items and recommended the board approve the June HR agenda as presented. The transcript records broad agreement and no areas of concern from the committee.
