Human Resources outlines vacancies, boot camps and 'GCSD GROWS' recruitment push
Summary
Human Resources told the board the district has one administrative vacancy, seven certified vacancies, two special‑services vacancies, four long‑term subs and described boot camps and a 'GCSD GROWS' pipeline to recruit and certify teachers and classified staff.
Human Resources reported current vacancy levels and recruitment efforts to the board, saying there is one administrative vacancy (Maryvale Elementary), seven certified vacancies across levels (3 elementary, 1.5 middle, 2.5 high), two special‑services vacancies and four long‑term substitute placements. HR described summer recruitment events — a boot camp that had 31 participants and another planned session of 10 — and said new‑employee orientation had 80 attendees.
HR also outlined programs to grow the pipeline, including reimbursement for certification fees, partnerships with teacher preparation programs, and a "GROWS" initiative aimed at developing future employees from within the district. The presenter said onboarding, mentoring and a classified leadership cohort are part of the plan to reduce vacancies and increase retention.
