Include classified and professional employees in talent development

We understand that our operations staff is key to our goal of providing a high quality education for our students. These professionals help to maintain seamless operations, such that our schools are not disrupted. Moreover, their focus on operational efficiency helps us to drive more resources to the classroom to support student learning. A talented support staff allows our teachers and school leaders to focus on the core mission of teaching and learning without distraction or taking on responsibilities unrelated to the essential function of their jobs.

Action Steps:

• Recruit, select, develop, retain and reward talent in all operational areas.
• Establish a robust performance management framework for all professional and full-time classified staff.
