      Summary of Job Fair

      In preparation for the Job Fair, the following steps were taken:


      ·   Human Resources advertised a $2,000 stipend for early notice for retirement and resignations

      ·   2020-2021 staffing was completed by budget, updated by administrators and reviewed for accuracy by Human Resources

      ·   Administrators completed Personnel Action Forms (PAFs) for vacancies in their buildings or departments and submitted the PAFs to Human Resources

      ·   Human Resources placed unassigned teachers and returning teachers from a 2019-2020 leave of absence in open positions

      ·   A three-week internal transfer period opened where Human Resources posted all vacancies for internal certificated staff – February 25, March 3 and March 10. Simultaneously, Human Resources posted generic Job Fair positions for external candidates to apply for an invitation for the Job Fair

      ·   Each internal transfer week, administrators conducted conversations with internal applicants interested in their vacancies

      ·   Human Resources monitored internal transfer movement

      ·   Vacancies not filled by internal transfers were moved to the Job Fair

      ·   In February and early March, Human Resources screened applicants for the Job Fair and invited applicants to the Job Fair

      ·   Due to COVID-19, the Job Fair was cancelled
