The Human Resources Department is committed to assisting both staff and applicants in a friendly and efficient manner. We believe that it is up to us to put the “human” in Human Resources so that each person – whether employee or applicant – feels valued and respected.
Our commitment further extends to our employees. We work collaboratively with other administrative departments to resolve employee issues and we have expanded our role in providing a mentoring program for new teachers. Professional development is key to the success of all employees and the district is committed to funding staff development and training annually.
