Summary

District staff said the HR department overhauled onboarding and provides ongoing internal and external professional development; board members asked that those efforts and special-topic PD (e.g., special education) be reported to the board more frequently.

Dr. Bishop told the board that the HR department, citing Ms. Loring, has "completely overhauled the onboarding process" and that ongoing professional development exists both internally and via external opportunities. He said this is the first full year with the new onboarding process in place and suggested HR could present its work at a future meeting.

Board members asked that onboarding and topic-specific professional development (including special education) be reported to the board more frequently during the year so the board can monitor progress toward recruitment and retention goals. Dr. Bishop said the district will work with HR to develop processes and update the board as part of the goals-implementation planning.
