Teachers covering classes during planning as board hears substitute shortage reported by SVEA rep
Summary
SVEA representative R. Payne told the board substitute‑teacher shortages have required teachers to cover classes during their planning periods; the issue was raised during the SVEA report and recorded for the board's awareness.
During the reports portion of the Dec. 9 meeting, SVEA representative R. Payne told the board that the district is experiencing a shortage of substitute teachers. Payne said teachers have been covering classes during their planning periods to maintain instruction while substitutes are unavailable, and thanked the PTO for Sunshine Cart visits.
The minutes record the staffing shortage as an informational item; the board did not vote on any immediate policy or staffing action during open session. The laborers' representative, R. Towers, separately recognized support staff contributions but did not propose specific remedies for substitute coverage.
