Personnel director details new‑staff orientation, resident educator mentoring and digitized onboarding
Summary
Personnel director Tijuana Honeycutt outlined a three‑day new‑staff orientation for 13 certificated hires, the resident educator mentorship program (8 in year 1, 2 in year 2), and full digitization of onboarding forms via Frontline, plus a June soft launch of a professional learning management system.
Tijuana Honeycutt, speaking for the personnel department, gave the committee an annual update on staffing and onboarding on Aug. 3. She said the district held a three‑day new staff orientation Aug. 6–8 for 13 certificated new hires and will resume orientation activities this week before the school year. Honeycutt described a resident educator program required by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce that pairs early‑career teachers with certified mentors; the district had eight teachers in year one and two teachers in year two last year.
Honeycutt said the district completed 185 OTES educator evaluations and all principal and counselor evaluations in a timely manner. She described efforts to digitize onboarding and hiring forms through Frontline so staff credentials, payroll and benefits data load electronically; the district soft‑launched a professional learning management system at the end of June that will track licensure requirements, tuition reimbursement and professional development. "Frontline is only as good as how much we put into it and utilize it," Honeycutt said, describing automated license‑expiry notifications the system sends to staff and administrators.
Board members asked about employee recognition features in newsletters; Honeycutt said she and communications coordinator Gia McCants are collaborating on an ongoing employee‑recognition effort.
