The Board recognizes that the District’s central goal – the education of children – is wholly dependent on the dedication and work provided by the District’s employees. The Board seeks to develop and implement personnel policies that will allow and enhance the ability of staff to educate children.
The specific goals that will guide the Board as it develops personnel policies are:
To hire and retain the best and most qualified staff available;
To assign personnel so as to ensure they are utilized as effectively as possible;
To provide support through professional development and training to staff to improve their skills; and
To ensure staff are evaluated in a rigorous and meaningful manner in accordance with law.
The Board expects employees to render the quality of service that enables children to learn at the highest level possible and to seek continuous improvement.
