District lays out recruitment and 100‑day leadership plans; staff engagement and data dashboards prioritized
Summary
Human resources staff described a three‑part recruitment and retention plan focused on university partnerships, improved hiring systems and new staff surveys, and presented a districtwide 100‑day planning framework that will align building goals, learning walks and a leadership dashboard.
District human-resources leadership outlined recruitment, hiring and retention initiatives and introduced a 100‑day planning framework to align school and district improvement work.
On recruitment, staff said they are building or strengthening formal and informal partnerships with local educator preparation programs to increase student‑teacher placements and pipelines for new graduates. The HR presenter said she will attend mock interview events and panels at area universities, seek internship and student‑teaching placements, and create an employee profile to market district working conditions to prospective candidates.
Operational changes include migrating hiring and FMLA work to online systems, creating a short new‑hire feedback survey, centralizing payroll and stipend schedules in an appendix, and testing midyear staff surveys (School Perceptions or alternative survey tools available in the district’s educator‑effectiveness platform). HR staff said they will hold regular “open office” times at school buildings to meet staff and gather input.
Separately, district administrators described a 100‑day planning process to align principal and district leadership goals with measurable academic and behavioral targets. The plan calls for principals to set academic and behavioral goals, develop communication plans, and use a leadership dashboard (district‑designed to supplement the state report card and incorporate additional indicators such as course selections and preparatory pathways) to track progress. The committee was told principals will present school 100‑day plans to the curriculum committee and the full board later in the fall, and district staff will conduct periodic learning walks and cross‑site visits to share practices.
