9.F. Items Introduced by Board Members and Reports of Meetings Attended
Discussion:
Willow Olson attended a recruitment trip to Anchorage and Wyoming, also the National School Board Conference. One huge takeaway was that board members need to serve the staff, eg. breakfast or lunch.
Jane Kava also attended the National School Board Conference. Jane appreciated speaking with other board members and learned that we share the same struggles. Silas Paniptchuk and Edward Jackson went to Alberqueque Job Fair. The teacher pool is very shallow, slim pickings. Need to encourage our schools and staff and actively try to keep our teachers. Edward Jackson attended the NACTEC Governing Board meeting in Nome. Short-staffed too. Tammy Dodd shared that the district is seeing an overall shortage of district housing. She also encourages board members to attend graduation and regional tournaments at the DO cost. Guidance Counselor pathways/options were shared. |
