Pasco reports teacher vacancies down to 47; HR says allocations adjusted to enrollment
Summary
HR reported classroom teacher vacancies fell to 47 (<1% vacancy rate); district said allocations for 2026–27 reflect enrollment projections and that placement and SRP freezes were lifted for most positions.
The board received an update on recruitment and allocations showing notable reductions in teacher vacancies and staffing adjustments tied to enrollment projections.
HR representative (Mr. Shibley in the record) told the board that the district’s final staffing report for 2025–26 recorded 47 classroom teacher vacancies, which the presentation characterized as less than 1% for that group. HR said transportation recruitment and other targeted hiring events continued through May and noted that an instructional and SRP freeze instituted in April had been lifted except in five assignment areas that remained under review.
HR reported that district and school allocations for next year were included in the board packet and reflected reduced student populations in some areas. The allocations brought changes across the district; HR stated reductions were spread proportionally across levels and not the result of changes to staffing formulas. Officials said impacted employees would be placed in other positions where possible and that the allocation changes did not increase the district’s budget liability.
Board members asked clarifying questions; administrators said they expected to resolve outstanding placement lists soon. The board approved the consent agenda later in the meeting, which included routine agenda items; the board recorded the vote as 'Aye' and the motion carried.
