Mr. Newman stated the key is the pay. The recruitment is difficult. But in terms of the current vacancies, we will check and stay in front of the issue. The list does contain eligible candidates. There needs to be a concerted effort of people working together to address this problem.
Help is needed from management, leadership, principals, and from the directors.
The commission and staff have an obligation to fill jobs. If people can't be found, an independent contractor must be brought in. Cal State Northridge is the primary producer of interpreters. They talk to the instructors and ask that they be referred when they are ready. Our benefits alone can be an incentive.
