Board hears plan to use restricted license and EA expertise as teacher will miss remainder of year
Summary
Board discussed K–2 staffing after the lead teacher will be out for the rest of the year; staff proposed restricted‑license teaching by an experienced educational assistant to preserve consistency for students.
Board members were told the district faces immediate K–2 staffing constraints: the lead teacher (Jody) cannot continue full time after spring break and Jeanette is not yet ready to return. To preserve classroom consistency, staff described a plan to request a restricted teaching license for a long‑standing educational assistant to teach mornings (literacy and math) with another staff member providing afternoon support.
The staff member presenting said the decision prioritizes student continuity: "Jody cannot continue full time after spring break," and the district is arranging a path for a restricted license so title groups and supports remain consistent. Board members asked about compensation, certification lines and parent notification; staff replied they have communicated with families and will finalize arrangements and any compensation details with human resources before the change takes effect.
