To find the number of first-year teachers at the school staff meeting, we can calculate 35% of the total number of teachers in attendance.
First, we find 35% of 40:
\[
\text{Number of first-year teachers} = 0.35 \times 40
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
0.35 \times 40 = 14
\]
Therefore, the number of first-year teachers in the meeting is \( \boxed{14} \).
