GROVETON — The Groveton ISD Board of Trustees approved a plan to have all teachers in core subjects certified by the 2028-29 school year.
Superintendent Jim Dillard said the vote was taken at the Jan. 28 meeting.
He said the state wants teachers in all foundational subjects — ELA, math, science, and social studies — to be certified in each subject. However, because of teacher shortage that affects smaller districts especially, there are some that are not, which was allowed.
In a similar vein, after public hearings, the board approved targeted improvement plans for the elementary and junior/senior high schools, also required by the state.
In other business, the board:
- approved the annual audit report, which came back clean, with an unmodified opinion that is consistent with reasonable fiscal practices;
- approved policy updates, including to the public records policy that allows the district to designate non-business days. State law requires public entities to respond to public records requests within 10 business days;
- accepted the resignation of Brittney Anderson;
- set March 6 as snow makeup day; and
- honored its members for School Board Appreciation Month.
