Teresa Hislop has worked to procure an outdoor learning grant that will match up to $10,000 towards the establishment of an outdoor learning space. We propose adding a pavilion/bowery to the garden which will increase the usage of the garden area as a learning center.
We previously voted on procuring a new sounds system for the Elementary, Changes in the original bid and scope of the project have required enough changes that it is necessary to look at the project again.
Although we prioritize certification in our staffing searches, the current teacher shortage makes it difficult to find highly qualified individuals for all positions.
We ensure all our teachers have the skills necessary to perform their job function. All new teachers work with mentors, academic coaches, and teams to support their teaching. All teachers working toward licensure have a specific plan for obtaining their educator licenses as quickly as possible.
