West Point says it is fully staffed and lauds convocation as schools reopen
Summary
Board learned the division reports full staffing for the new year (15 new hires including nine teachers) and heard highlights from convocation and new teacher orientation.
Division leaders told the board the district is fully staffed ahead of the opening week and welcomed 15 new employees this year, including nine new teachers, two interventionists and a new secondary assistant principal. "We are fully staffed," a presenter said, noting a two‑year hiring total of 24 new staff and a retention rate near 93%.
Staff also described a condensed convocation that recognized employees and included participation by Mayor Lawson and the town manager. New teacher orientation was extended with practical sessions (Uniflow copier setup, Canvas, PowerSchool) and a new Canvas course, 'West Point 101', that will house onboarding resources. The board heard that orientation included visits to the local historical society and other community integration activities.
