Board approves hiring three paraprofessionals from local applicant pool
Summary
The board approved hiring paraprofessionals including Susan Bunton, an experienced educator from out of state, 'Miss Wayne' as an aspiring teacher candidate, and Mr. Clawson, a Whitehall graduate in a 'grow‑your‑own' hire initiative.
Trustees voted to hire a cohort of paraprofessionals after reviewing a strong applicant pool gathered through broader advertising.
Curtis told trustees the district attracted a reasonably sized applicant pool and highlighted candidates: Susan Bunton, who has teaching experience in Texas and Nevada and brings resource‑room and classroom skills; Miss Wayne, described as an aspiring teacher who will enter paraprofessional training pathways; and Mr. Clawson, a recent Whitehall graduate who returns under the district’s 'grow your own' staffing approach.
A trustee moved to hire the paraprofessionals, a second was made, and the motion passed by voice vote.
Curtis emphasized that new paraprofessionals had positive orientation participation and expressed enthusiasm about training and professional development pathways available locally.
