ACS HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT

Director of Human Resources

The Human Resources Department is at the core of our District’s organization. The HR Department recognizes (1) the importance of recruiting, selecting, placing and retaining the best candidates, and (2) that highly qualified teachers and top-performing support staff are the key to successful schools. Human Resources provides guidance and support for District employees on a daily basis.

Under the District Superintendent’s supervision and direction, the Human Resources Department is responsible for compliance with Board Policy, Administrative Regulations and regulatory statutes for the planning, organization and direction of the District personnel management process. These areas include development and administration of the employee recruitment and selection, orientation/employment, transfer, promotion, retention, layoff and separation processes, professional growth, and employee relations. 

Human Resources provides the knowledge, necessary tools, training, administrative services, coaching, legal and management advice, and talent management oversight that the District needs to be successful in meeting its goals. HR provides effective policies and procedures, guidelines and support within the District. It is responsible for helping to ensure that the District’s mission, vision, and values, metrics and factors that keep the District guided toward success are optimized.
