Recruitment and retention will be a lead discussion item for the USD 253 Emporia Board of Education at its regular meeting Wednesday.
Board members will discuss the results of what’s being called a Stay Survey designed to help the district identify ways to recruit new staff members and increase retention of current personnel.
In other business, board members may approve the classified salary schedule for the upcoming academic year. An overall Building for the Future construction update from McCownGordon is planned along with an improvement update from William Allen White Elementary. Approval of student handbooks and the purchase of two school buses are on the regular agenda.
As part of the consent agenda, where several items can be handled with one vote, board members may approve the upcoming retirement of longtime Maintenance Director Bob Fancher.
The meeting starts at 6:30 pm at Mary Herbert Education Center.
