               HUMAN RESOURCES
               The District is actively recruiting certified and classified staff during the prime hiring season to fill
               vacancies due to retirements, resignations, and program expansion. The District is seeking innovative
               faculty and staff to engage students in learning and teaching them how to connect what they have learned
               to the real world. The District anticipates a special Board meeting in April to discuss staffing levels, and
               anticipated needs for the 2021-2022 school term.


               COVID 19 UPDATE

               In February of 2021 the District administered two surveys to faculty and staff.  As of March 1, 2021
               approximately 168 District employees have received round 1 of the vaccination. 139 employees have
               received rounds 1 and 2. Within the next three weeks the combined number of employees who will be
               fully vaccinated is approximately 307 district wide. The responses are based upon a survey completed
               by employees. 22 employees have indicated that they would like to receive the vaccination but have not
               be able to schedule an appointment. On a daily basis the Office of Human Resources post the available
               times and provides coverage to all employees interested in receiving the vaccination. 101 employees
               have self-reported that they are not interested in receiving the vaccination at this time. Approximately
               54 percent of District employees will be fully vaccinated within the next three weeks. 101 employees
               are not interested in receiving the vaccination at this time. The District requires all employees to continue
