Staff are organized into the following functional areas.

Performance Management / Labor Relations is responsible for performance management.  A significant portion of this department's effort is spent in assisting leadership with improving employee performance, managing discipline, and responding to internal claims of discrimination, harassment or other policy violations on the part of an employee.

The Employee Relations and Labor Negotiations function is responsible for representing the district in the collective bargaining process for all 28 labor contracts covering the school district's employees. In consultation with the Superintendent, district leadership, and the Board of Education, this office develops the terms and conditions of employment aligned with organizational goals and objectives, resolves disputes in a collaborative fashion and provides guidance in labor relations for the district's supervision, and performance management.
