District reports near-full staffing ahead of school year; special-education and counseling coverage improved
Summary
Deputy Superintendent Jones reported the district is mostly staffed for the new year — counselors and licensed social workers are in place at every site — though a small number of vacancies and recent resignations remain; onboarding dates and substitute pools were explained.
Deputy Superintendent Jones provided the board with a staffing update showing the district largely staffed heading into the new school year, with a few vacancies to fill.
Jones told the board most elementary and secondary sites are fully staffed; exceptions include a difficult-to-fill position at Seguellete and a recent resignation that left Mesa View with an open role the district is working to replace. He said each site’s staffing status is fluid but that there are promising candidates and student-teacher pipelines that should supply licensable candidates this academic year. Jones also noted the district is fully staffed with licensed counselors and social workers at every school site for the first year, which he described as a significant development.
On substitutes, the district continues to contract through ESS for substitute teachers; nutrition staff who transition from the prior vendor will be district employees with separate onboarding on August 3. Board members asked for enrollment numbers and staffing details at an upcoming work session; Jones said he would provide updated enrollment figures for the board’s planning meeting.
