Board approves certified hires from the Philippines and a one‑year curriculum subscription
Summary
The Toltec School District board approved hiring 13 teachers recruited from the Philippines to reduce emergency certifications and authorized a one‑year Imagine Ingenuity curriculum subscription costing $1,731 to support a fourth–eighth grade teacher’s instruction and student monitoring.
The Toltec School District governing board approved personnel and curriculum items intended to strengthen classroom instruction ahead of the new school year.
Board members approved a resolution listing five administrators as highly qualified for the coming school year (assistant principal, special education director, and curriculum and instruction director among them). Separately, the administration described arrangements to bring 13 appropriately certified teachers from the Philippines to fill special education and regular teacher vacancies; officials said start dates depend on paperwork and agency scheduling but several hires are expected to arrive and begin work this month, which the administration said will reduce the district’s reliance on emergency certifications.
The board also approved a one‑year subscription to the Imagine Ingenuity online curriculum to support a teacher who covers fourth through eighth grade. The district will purchase a single year of access at a cost of $1,731 after officials said multi‑year pricing did not produce significant savings.
Motions for the administrator qualifications, teacher approvals and the curriculum purchase were made and approved by the board in separate voice votes.
