The East Grand School District Board accepted the resignation of kindergarten teacher Kelley Devore June 7, along with the resignations of three other staff. Devore, the only teacher in that group, will teach at Gudy.
The Hayden Board of Education on Monday responded to criticism from parents in the district who said they are worried the culture at the school has contributed to the school’s turnover rate among teachers.
On April 12, several parents addressed the board in public comment, concerned by the number of resignations among staff in the district and the lack of attention to the issue by the board.
“We have our own challenges that we have in general, and then we have exacerbated challenges which are the reality of the COVID situation,” Board President Brian Hoza said in regard to retaining staff. “This is on the mind of every board in the country.”
