“People are really enjoying the extra space and it’s making for a much better environment and attitude.”
“... there’s no question that if we can chip away at this (child care) issue, it will help ease the burden of the workforce shortage.”
According to Superintendent John Landgaard, the district is looking at a reduction in its levy of 4.13% compared to last year, though he cautioned that some adjustments still need to be made.
Some hires may be contingent upon obtaining licensure and/or background checks.
