Hello,

The Hiring Process.
Critical decisions with long-term consequences

Attend this practical webinar in person or online
 
Tues., May 21 Webinar Registration

Recruiting, interviewing, and selecting the best employee are never easy tasks.  It becomes especially difficult as we are faced with an increase in the number of viable candidates, both recent graduates and those experienced individuals now surfacing from the ranks of furloughed teachers.

Having a comprehensive and efficient hiring process in place has never been more essential! This interactive presentation will focus specifically on hiring practices and assist participants to develop a comprehensive plan for staffing available positions in the coming school year.
 
This event is offered as an interactive session both on-line and on-site! Participants may choose to attend the session in person at the Westmoreland IU, or online via internet webcast.  Complete details 
          

Thanks to Jeff Sultanik for sharing this information:

April 29, 2013, Fact Finder's Recommendationissued by Lawrence Coburn with respect to the Teachers’ Contract negotiationsat the Pennsbury School District.  The Contract dispute dates back to the2010-2011 school year.  This is a landmark Fact Finder’s Recommendation for a number ofreasons: The salary schedule remains the same for five years; There is no retroactivity over a three year time period (i.e.,three zeroes where there is hard freeze); There is no horizontal movement for five years and there is theequivalent of one half step movement for each of the last two years of theCollective Bargaining Agreement; The only way for the 332 individuals on the maximum step of thesalary schedule to get an increase is to retire in accordance with theretirement provisions (calling for a $5,000.00 retirement payment).  In addition, there are health benefit concessions.
