Board approves declaration of need to allow temporary and internship credentials
Summary
Board approved the annual declaration of need that allows the district to request temporary credentials (e.g., CLAD, internship) when a fully credentialed candidate is unavailable; presenters said it provides flexibility amid staffing shortages.
Presenter (speaker 3) explained the declaration of need for fully qualified educators, which allows the district to request temporary credentialing options — such as CLAD authorizations, internship credentials and long‑term substitute authorizations — when fully credentialed candidates are not available. The presenter said the district currently has two staff pursuing CLAD and one on an internship credential and that the declaration preserves flexibility to hire while credentialing occurs.
Board members asked whether the annual approval creates any open-ended obligations; presenters said the intent is to preserve the ideal of hiring fully credentialed teachers while allowing temporary authority where necessary. The board approved the annual declaration by voice vote.
