The personnel committee celebrated 24 teachers who completed induction, reviewed a May 8 hiring fair with 25 attendees, reminded staff open enrollment closes May 30, and announced a June 17 walk-in HR session and retirement workshops.

At the May 29 personnel committee meeting, Miss Gardner highlighted several human-resources efforts aimed at recruitment and employee support, including completion of a new teacher induction cohort, a recent hiring fair, benefit deadlines and planned HR access sessions.

Miss Gardner congratulated 24 teachers who completed the district's new teacher induction program, which met monthly from September through April and included sessions on common planning time, IEP roles and responsibilities and instructional technology.

She also reported the district hosted a May 8 hiring fair at Penwood Middle School with 25 attendees; principals met candidates the following week and recommended hires for Park Lane, Ninth Grade Academy and Penwood High School. Miss Gardner said most applicants sought noninstructional positions but that teacher candidates were among attendees.

On benefits, staff were reminded that open enrollment closes at 8 p.m. on May 30 and that counselors are available 9 a.m.–8 p.m. Miss Gardner said life-changing events can be handled at any time through Human Resources.
