District outlines onboarding, mentoring and March recruitment fair
Summary
HR staff described steps to digitize personnel files and onboarding, move training to Public School Works, expand mentoring for ISAs and plan a district recruitment fair at Brush on March 18 that will include student programming and classified‑staff recruitment.
Jamie (HR lead) told the board the district is moving away from paper personnel files and onboarding to an electronic, phased process with a vendor (Strategic Solutions) and expects to begin personnel digitization by the end of the month. She said the district has submitted paperwork to move onboarding and personnel workflows online and will start with current personnel and the superintendent’s office.
On training platforms, the HR lead said the district intends to switch from Vector training to Public School Works because it offers more video content and quizzes. She said the contract with Public School Works was expected to be approved at the meeting and, if executed, training would be delivered in April and May.
Jamie described new mentoring and onboarding practices for Instructional Support Assistants (ISAs) and other new staff: a three‑day onboarding sequence that pairs new employees with mentors, classroom shadowing and quarterly check‑ins with HR. She said some long‑term substitutes have received mentoring when needed and that the district will consider expanding building‑level support for short‑term hires.
She announced a district recruitment fair at Brush on March 18. "The flyer was, finalized today," she said, and described a morning program strictly for students (resume workshops and portraits) and an afternoon recruitment component aimed at classified positions and potential staff recruits. The district plans additional outreach at area colleges including Cleveland State, John Carroll University and Bowling Green State.
Trustees asked about attrition and onboarding data; a board member requested a report on ISA attrition to assess retention impact, and Jamie said the district will track reasons employees leave to identify whether pay, supervision or advancement are factors.
Ending: HR will finalize vendor contracts and post recruitment fair details. Trustees requested follow‑up data on staff attrition and effectiveness of the mentoring program.
