WESLACO ISD identifies teachers needing updated certifications; trustees discuss support
Summary
HR told the board that 17 elementary and 4 secondary teachers lacked current certification for assigned grades or subjects; administrators described plans to support and monitor certification completion and discussed compensation/stipend plans.
District HR reported that a certification review identified 17 elementary teachers (many in art, music and PE) and 4 secondary teachers with missing or outdated certificates for the grades they currently teach. HR said the gaps are correctable and that staff will work with affected teachers to complete requirements.
"There's 17 teachers...they understand that to be able to continue teaching, they need to go out there and pass the test," the superintendent said. Trustees pressed for follow-up and for clarification about how HR will track progress and support affected teachers; the district said it will continue efforts to recruit and retain staff and will proceed with planned pay raises and stipend payments.
No disciplinary actions were recorded in the public portion of the meeting; trustees asked staff to report back on remediation steps and timelines.
