Summary

Superintendent recommended approval of personnel actions including a late hire, Carol House, for kindergarten to keep class sizes within guidelines; trustees approved the personnel report and asked questions about transportation staffing and class sizes.

Dr. Schaeffer recommended the personnel report as submitted and noted the addition of Carol House to the kindergarten staff after registration numbers rose. He said the hire was needed so the district could start the year with acceptable class sizes and that substitute coverage is in place until the new teacher begins. “Our registered kindergarten class size at this point, we need that additional teacher,” he said.

Trustees approved the personnel report unanimously. Questions followed about bus-driver staffing; Dr. Schaeffer said routes are currently staffed despite a recent resignation and that a new coordinator will begin later in the month. The board also confirmed estimated kindergarten class sizes (about 22 with the new hire) and discussed planning for substitute coverage until the teacher's official start date.
