The superintendent will oversee hiring for the next four months to help address the teacher shortage in the district. Previously, the board had to approve each hire, which could take up to six weeks.
The Conroe ISD board of trustees has approved temporarily handing over hiring power to Superintendent Curtis Null for the next four months.The board approved the change, which will begin in April, after an executive session at the March 23 board meeting.in the district.
"One of the issues that we ran into last year was getting feedback from principals that they had made recommendations to hire teachers, and by the time got to that teacher, the teacher had moved on because they had not heard from us officially," he said during the meeting. "We were losing teachers."
The previous policy included waiting for trustees to approve all position hires under the level of principal as part of the consent agenda. The process could take up to six weeks, Null said. "Meanwhile, don't want to resign from their current jobs until they have a contract in front of them," he said. "It's holding everything up."
