Will the last one to leave the Kent School District turn out the lights?

• From Jan. 1, 2013 to April 24, 2013 – 80 employees have left employment. • 30 employees (certificated & classified) have retired

• From Jan. 1, 2013 to April 24, 2013 – 80 employees have left employment

• 30 employees (certificated & classified) have retired

• 50 employees (certificated & classified) have resigned

• From Jan. 1, 2009 to April 22, 2009 – (Pre-current administration) 44 employees left employment

• 13 employees (certificated & classified) retired

• 21 employees (certificated & classified) resigned

Possible reasons:

Kent Association of Paraeducators (KAP) = No current contract

Kent Association of Educational Office Professionals (KAOEP) = No current contract

Or could it be because my colleagues’ unrelenting and diligent work ethic supporting student learning and student safety is valued and respected in neighboring districts?

Kent School District Board members – Debbie Straus, president; Tim Clark, vice president; Karen DeBruler, district director; Russ Hanscom, district director; Agda Burchard, legislative liaison – it’s time to show the dedication and responsibility that voters once entrusted to you for the students, parents and employees of the fourth largest school district in the state.
