During a recent government meeting, significant discussions centered around staffing and the approval of the student code of conduct. The meeting commenced with a motion to approve the student code of conduct, which was unanimously supported by the members present.

Following this, the conversation shifted to staffing needs within the school district. Miss Joseph raised concerns about the current staffing levels, particularly for 6th graders, highlighting that the school had already denied enrollment to some students due to capacity issues. In response, Miss Knight proposed adding an additional 6th-grade teacher to Madison County Central School, which was also approved without opposition.

Mister Cubansworth then presented a staffing recommendation that included hiring four new positions: one teacher at Central, one at the high school, and two district-wide roles—a mental health counselor and an MTSS specialist. The board moved to accept these recommendations, although questions arose regarding the number of vacancies for certified teachers across the district.

Mister Killingsworth reported that Greenville School had approximately a dozen vacancies for certified teachers, with three positions currently filled by individuals lacking a bachelor's degree. The discussion emphasized the importance of having certified teachers in every classroom, with members expressing concern over the reliance on non-certified staff in the past.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to prioritize filling these vacancies and ensuring that all classrooms are staffed by qualified educators, reflecting the board's dedication to maintaining educational standards for students.
