Board approves seven new positions for 2026–27, including Urdu and occupational therapist roles
Summary
The board approved posting seven new positions totaling 8.5 FTE for 2026–27, including Urdu and Arabic language positions, two occupational therapists (converting purchased services), and staff for Early Childhood Center expansion; the consent agenda passed unanimously.
The board approved a consent agenda that included the posting of seven new positions for the 2026–27 school year, totaling 8.5 full-time-equivalent positions. The listed openings included two Urdu positions (Stenson and Old Orchard Junior High), one Arabic position at OOJH, two occupational therapist positions converted from purchased services into district roles, and Early Childhood Center roles—a psychologist, a pre-K teacher, a full-time health clerk and a 0.5 custodian.
Dr. Roth moved and Ms. Lonigro seconded approval of the consent agenda; a roll call recorded AYEs from Bell-Jordan, Glickman, Lonigro, Roth, Scheer, Strebence and Warshaw and the motion carried. The minutes note the occupational therapist conversions are expected to have minimal net cost impact because they replace purchased services.
