Board hears staffing shortages; administrators discuss conditional certifications and CTE options
Summary
Administrators told the board critical vacancies remain in auto tech, welding CTE, high-school counseling, elementary counseling and paraeducator positions; staff discussed conditional certification and possible pivots to social-worker roles at elementary level.
Administrators reported several critical vacancies that will affect the coming school year, including openings for an auto-tech instructor, welding CTE at the high school, counselors at both elementary and high school levels, and multiple paraeducator positions. Board members and staff discussed using conditional certification pathways and recruiting from industry partners to fill technical instructor roles.
Diana noted the district is pursuing candidates who can be conditionally certified and said, "We do have several candidates who have applied and they're working on their counseling certificate," while the board also explored alternative staffing models such as hiring social-worker-type personnel to cover elementary social needs if certified counselors are not available.
