Resident raises staff morale and discipline concerns during public comment
Summary
During public comment at the May 20 meeting, Stepanie Lairmer told the Lowpoint-Washburn board she and others feel staff morale and communication are poor, cited unclear discipline procedures and delayed administrative responses, and urged more administrative visibility in classrooms.
During the public-comment period at the May 20 board meeting, resident Stepanie Lairmer told the board she was raising concerns about staff morale, inconsistent discipline procedures, and delayed administrative responses to staff concerns. President Monica Beltramea prefaced public comment by reminding speakers of rules and that the board does not debate public comments during the meeting.
Lairmer said staff feel uncomfortable expressing concerns, described inconsistency in discipline and custodial shortcomings, and urged the board to increase administrative visibility in classrooms and to take previously submitted improvement suggestions more seriously. The transcript notes the district keeps sign-in sheets and that correspondence recognizing teacher Valerie Gardner was filed with the district office.
