Director of schools reports improved AP pass rates and near-full teacher staffing
Summary
The director reported the district is more than 99% staffed for teaching positions, has improved AP pass rates from 55% to over 70%, and noted ongoing work to fill special-education vacancies and bus-driver positions.
In the director of schools report, district leadership told the board the system is ‘‘more than 99% staffed’’ for teaching positions while hiring continues, with most remaining vacancies in special education where differentiated pay ($6,000) and sign-on bonuses are being used.
The director said transportation staffing has improved, noting 15 open bus routes and 12 trainees in the bus-driver program. He also reported that the district’s Advanced Placement pass rate improved from 55 percent in 2022 to over 70 percent in the past school year, and encouraged community donations to support the teacher warehouse (about $36,000 raised last year).
The report closed with an invitation for community support and an update that staffing and onboarding will continue over the next few weeks; the board adjourned at the end of the meeting.
