The Rolla Board of Education meeting on December 12, 2024, focused on staffing adjustments in response to changing student enrollment needs. The board discussed the reinstatement of a position that had been cut the previous year due to lower enrollment figures.

During the meeting, it was noted that as new students become eligible for enrollment, particularly younger children, there is a likelihood that the district will need to fill this position again in the upcoming school year. The discussion emphasized the importance of preparing for the second semester as more students are identified and enroll.

The board members unanimously supported the decision to make these staffing preparations, indicating a proactive approach to meet the needs of the growing student population. The meeting concluded with a vote in favor of the proposed staffing changes, reflecting the board's commitment to ensuring adequate resources for students.
