June 2, 2026 Personnel Committee Meeting

The June 2, 2026 Personnel Committee Meeting of the NOLA Public Schools focused primarily on staffing updates, retention trends, and organizational restructuring for the 2026-27 school year. The committee reviewed recent hiring and separations, noting a 90% one-year retention rate and efforts to certify teachers. A significant portion of the discussion centered on the organizational chart changes, including position reclassifications, promotions, and a hiring freeze that limited recruitment to school-based positions only. The committee also discussed plans to lift the hiring freeze for non-school-based roles starting July 1, with an emphasis on improving internal project management by expanding in-house capital projects staff and reducing contracted services. Board members requested detailed information on reclassified positions and updated job descriptions to better understand the changes. No formal votes on contracts or budget allocations were recorded during this meeting.
