Human resources reported stable vacancy counts compared with last year and progress in recruitment; student services highlighted National School Counselor Week and a new discipline committee to standardize practices across schools.

The board received routine updates from Human Resources and Student Services.

Miss Thompson reported the district "is kind of hovering around the same numbers that we had last year," with about 25 licensed vacancies compared to 26 last year and a slight increase in special-education positions. She summarized observation-completion rates (district close to the expected 2,100 observations) and described international-teacher recruitment and bus-driver training timelines, noting training capacity at the DMV has slowed licensure completion.

Mister White outlined student-services items including STAR Academy and reassignment reports, recognition of National School Counselor Week and the launch of a discipline-in-schools committee tasked with developing consistent discipline standards across elementary, middle and high schools.
