Superintendent Mr. Lombard told the board on Feb. 16 that the district continues to address staff vacancies and compensation distribution as planning and hiring proceed.
The minutes identify an open middle school special education teacher vacancy, final interviews underway this week for a Food Service Director, and screening interviews for a Transportation Director scheduled Feb. 23–27, 2026. Lombard reported a student-count update was provided for Fall 2024 and 2025, Spring 2025 and projected Spring 2026 counts, but the minutes do not list enrollment numbers. He said the district will receive 27L one-time funds for educator compensation; those funds are to be distributed after required retirement, Social Security and FICA contributions are applied and the district is negotiating a Letter of Understanding with employee groups to set the allocation. Lombard also said the district is working to secure additional funding to support hiring a CTE teacher.
The minutes do not specify the amount of 27L funding the district will receive, the timeline for distribution, or details of the funding source beyond the label '27L.'
