Board approves hiring of paraprofessionals, cites strong candidate pool

Whitehall School District · August 19, 2026

Summary

Superintendent/staff reported a wider recruiting pool yielded several strong candidates, including Susan Buntin and local graduate Clausen; the board voted to hire paraprofessionals by voice vote.

Staff member (S6) told the board the district had a good-sized pool of applicants for paraprofessional positions after advertising on Indeed and other channels. S6 highlighted Susan Buntin — with prior teaching experience in Texas and Nevada — and a recent Whitehall graduate, Clausen, as promising hires and noted the district’s 'grow your own' program is bringing local alumni back as staff.

A motion to hire the paraprofessionals was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. Chair (S1) called for the vote and recorded 'Aye' with the motion passing; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally by name.
