Superintendent outlines staffing plan: psychologist, intervention specialists and music teacher positions posted
Summary
The superintendent told the board the district has posted a psychologist replacement, an elementary teaching replacement, two new intervention specialist positions and a new music teacher, but stressed hires will depend on the board's review of the five‑year financial forecast.
The superintendent presented a staffing update for the 2025–26 school year, telling board members the district has posted several positions that reflect program needs and student supports.
Positions the district has posted include: a psychologist (replacement), an elementary teaching position to replace a retiring teacher, two new intervention specialist positions and a proposed new music teacher. The superintendent said the intervention specialist positions are new additions intended to support the district’s sizable population of students with individualized education programs and that the music teacher would support expanded arts opportunities.
"Posting these positions now reflects our proactive approach to attracting the strongest pool candidates and ensures that we're prepared to meet students' needs," the superintendent said, emphasizing that the board will review any hires after analyzing impacts on the five‑year financial forecast.
Board members discussed the timing of additional meetings or a work session to review staffing details and financial effects; the superintendent suggested setting aside time at the February meeting to discuss next steps and noted the district is only collecting applications at this stage and will not finalize hires without board approval.
