B. Report on the State of the District - Scott Woolstenhulme, Human Resource Director Chairman Jenkins invited Scott Woolstenhulme, Human Resource Director to present the State of the District report. Mr. Woolstenhulme explained the new furniture in the foyer – the Human Resource Department is growing! When he took over as the Director last summer he did not realize the intricacies of the department and what everyone’s responsibilities were. Michelle Gonzalez suggested a HR model used in the Nampa school district, which helped define roles while providing customer service to the schools. The new Generalist position helps provide a support to the building principals, allowing them to be the educational leader in their schools and letting the HR department take the responsibility of hiring and maintaining records. There are three generalists who each work with particular schools and district departments; there is a records clerk, Substitute teacher clerk, a benefits specialist, and a records specialist. For this year, there is a shortage of science certified teachers. If a person who has earned a degree in a non-teaching field and wishes to earn a teaching certificate, they can apply for an alternative authorized program to earn a teaching certificate, such as the ABCTE program or a college program. This process takes three years. Currently, the Transportation department have bus drivers lined up for the first day of school. C.
