District HR reports near‑full staffing, highlights recruitment and credentialing efforts
Summary
Human Resources director reported the district filled most vacancies for 2025–26, reducing vacancies from 36 to 3, described recruitment efforts (job fairs to Portland and Los Angeles), credentialing support for teachers and recognition programs for staff.
Human Resources Director Marcy Jones told the Greenfield Union Elementary School Board on Oct. 9 that the district has significantly reduced vacancies this school year and is operating near full staffing.
"For the 2025–26 school year, we had a total of 36 vacancies. At the start of the school year, we were filled with 33. We only have 3 vacancies," Jones said, describing recruitment activity that included job fairs across the West Coast and a steady pipeline for credentialing teachers. She said the district’s staffing level was approximately 98% filled and noted the district supports 225 teachers and administrators with credential services.
Jones outlined hiring and onboarding, employee recognition programs (employee of the week/site recognition), partnerships with the county office of education for teacher and classified employee awards, and internal credential pathways that converted permit holders into preliminary and clear credentials. She also recognized long‑time HR staff and urged continuing investment in staff wellness and training.
Trustees asked follow‑up questions about where the district recruits (Jones said recruiting goes as far as Portland and Los Angeles), and noted the district relies on a small but active HR team to manage growth. The board paused for a brief recognition of HR staff and allowed photographs during a short recess.
Next steps: HR will continue recruitment and training efforts; the district scheduled additional staff training for special education aides and registered behavior technicians.
