HR reports hires, longevity recognitions and safety reporting updates

Derby Board of Education · January 26, 2026

Summary

Assistant Superintendent Becky Mater updated the board on recent hires for hard-to-fill positions, longevity recognition (staff with 30+ years), an uptick in substitute applicants, and 29 tips received via the district P3 anonymous reporting app (all investigated).

Becky Mater, assistant superintendent of human resources, briefed the board on hiring, longevity recognition and safety systems. She said the district filled two difficult-to-staff positions (a high-incident special education role and a part-time speech-language position) and highlighted recruitment strategies that rely on maintaining relationships and referrals.

Mater said 13 staff members are being recognized for 30 years of service, two for 35 years and one for 40 years. On substitutes she reported steady application flow, including for specialty roles such as nursing. Regarding safety, Mater said the district received 29 tips via the P3 app this school year; each tip is investigated and none are currently open or overdue.

The board received the report and had no immediate action beyond thanks and follow-up questions about vacancies and matching substitutes to school needs.
