The Marshalltown School Board assesses each year if they want to offer early retirement options for the teachers. These are Dr. Schutte’s comments from the School Board meeting on Monday
Dr. Schutte continues to speak on staff shortages being a reason to not offer early retirement as we need as many teachers as we can get at the moment. Last year was a little different though
It was pointed out that MCSD might need to offer this in the future as the number of students is projected to drop
The 8th and 9th grade classes are the largest classes within the district, after they are gone there is a quick drop off. MCSD will reassess early retirement again next year.
