Resident raises concerns about teacher turnover at New Durham Township meeting
Summary
Community member Janet Couture told the school board she is worried about the number of teachers leaving the district; the board heard the concern during the public-comment portion and approved personnel actions later in the meeting.
Janet Couture addressed the MSD of New Durham Township School Board during the Community Input portion of the July 24 meeting, expressing "concerns with the number of teachers leaving." The comment was heard before the board approved a slate of resignations and recommendations later in the agenda.
The board took no immediate action in response to Couture's statement during public comment. Multiple personnel items — including resignations and a set of recommended hires — were approved later in the meeting, meaning turnover and replacement will be addressed administratively through the personnel approvals the board voted to accept.
