Board approves provisional internship permit to fill special‑education vacancy at junior high
Summary
Facing a limited applicant pool, the board approved hiring Lissette Abair under a Provisional Internship Permit for the 2025–26 school year to fill a Mild/Moderate Special Education teacher opening at Richland Junior High.
The Richland board approved a Provisional Internship Permit (PIP) to hire Lissette Abair to a Mild/Moderate Special Education teacher position at Richland Junior High for the 2025–26 school year.
Mrs. Martinez explained that a limited pool of qualified applicants required issuing a PIP to allow Mrs. Abair time to meet subject‑matter competency requirements and enter a university internship program. The motion to approve the permit was made by DeWitt, seconded by Maldonado, and passed unanimously among trustees present.
The minutes record the board’s approval but do not list details such as the expected timeline for Mrs. Abair to meet credentialing requirements or oversight controls; human resources noted the new title Director of Human Resources was added to published salary schedules during the same meeting.
