Superintendent previews school-year kickoff, staffing and recovery efforts
Summary
Superintendent Roemer highlighted facility improvements, new hires and interns, a district kickoff event on Aug. 26 and planned supply drives to assist Human Concerns after flash flooding.
Superintendent Jen Roemer told the School Board on Aug. 20 that the district has completed several summer projects and is preparing staff for the start of the 2025-26 school year. "We are excited to share that we are working on updating our school workplaces for staff members," Roemer said, noting the recently updated workroom at Lakeview to provide more work spaces and storage.
Roemer also announced a slate of new teachers and interns, saying interns will be placed at Luther, Lakeview, Blakewood, Rawson and the Middle School. She previewed the district kickoff scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 26, with guest speaker Mike Anderson and a student panel. Roemer added that Human Concerns was "greatly impacted by the recent flash flooding" and the district will collect replacement supplies at upcoming events and schedule a supply drop-off.
Board members heard that the high school parking lot has been newly paved and is ready. Roemer cautioned that unexpectedly strong elementary enrollments have increased class sizes in some rooms and said the district is monitoring counts and "may need to add a school board meeting soon if another position becomes needed."
