Director of Human Resources Janelle Schraufnagel and Finance Director Bryan Kadlec presented a staffing plan that included one kindergarten teacher FTE and one third-grade teacher FTE (assigned to Olga Brener or LEADS). Presenters told the board they were confident the current budget could support the additions. The board approved the staffing additions as presented.
