Summary

Human Resources told the board the district hired 39 teachers during spring hiring for 2026–27 (including six new-to-profession teachers), noted departments with the most hires, and reported that no classroom vacancies remain; one certified contract specialist position in CTV remains open.

The district’s human resources staff presented hiring results for the 2026–27 school year, reporting 39 teacher hires during the spring hiring season. Of the 39, presenters said 6 are new to the profession and the largest hiring needs were in CTE and math (16 hires combined). The presenter said a majority of resignations and retirements had created vacancies that were addressed and that, at present, there are no classroom vacancies for the district’s teaching assignments; the only remaining certified opening is a contract specialist for CTV.

Board members asked follow‑up questions about special education staffing and requested a clearer breakdown of reasons employees left (career moves, retirement, health versus mental‑health reasons) so the district could better target retention efforts. Human Resources said it would follow up with a more detailed explanation.
