District proposes early hiring for two new schools, including principals and support staff
Summary
Administrators told the board the budget includes teacher, assistant and five administrator slots to staff two new schools opening in the coming years and asked the board to approve early hires to prepare for the transition.
At the public hearing, Ken Love said the budget includes positions added now to prepare for two schools scheduled to open in the next school cycle. "We have teachers identified across the board at 11 and 0.5 slots," Love said, and added the plan also identifies "5 administrators" to support planning and transitions for the new schools.
Love said several roles are needed immediately for planning and staffing continuity, including an assistant principal at Roosevelt and roles to cover athletics and bookkeeping at a new high school. Board members asked for clarification about timing and the fiscal impact of hiring administrators before school openings; Love said the costs are included in the proposed operational budget rather than capital.
