I’m so happy for two #SchoolPR colleagues, who have become family to me over the years!! They’re going to do fabulous! P.S., I feel honored that I provided them the opportunity to capture a photo together on a waterfall…. While I was receiving medical attention. 😅
It’s time to reveal the worst kept secret of #NSPRA2023… The new host of SPRHH is… Becca Latham from Illinois! Super excited for y’all to hear her story and the conversations she has planned for season 5! First episodes drop Sept 1!

When you understood the assignment: Give your BFF the best memory of his 40th birthday and provide a memory of the lifetime.
Best. Opening. Ever. Right @david_____0? #SchoolPR friends are the best friends.

Talk about some perfect timing! The latest issue of @school_ceo is “The Recruitment Issue.” Lines up well with this week’s #k12prchat.

Hey, my friends over at @FrontHQ and @clickup… Any chance we can get a tighter integration to save users time? I would love to be able to fill in all fields, including custom, directly in Front when creating a task from email.

It's been a hot minute since I participated in the #k12prchat, but wow! I am electrified to continue the work already we just started on recruiting. I hope @Angelica_HR_Ed is ready for what's to come!

A6: We're working with the fantastic team at @Finalsite to create a dedicated careers page, including specific pages for each position. A lot of my research has been in the private sector, specifically banking for inspiration. #K12PRChat

THIS RIGHT HERE!! Don't let a candidate get all the way to the end of the process and then disclose the salary range for the position. This leads to wasting both parties time if the range is not even an option to the candidate.
A4 - 1: Ready? Be transparent and open about PAY and BENEFITS… and all the other benefits people get when they work for a school district! It’s not a secret… just spill it!! #k12talent #k12prchat

What an awesome idea! Make them feel like they're part of the team from day 1. What other profession hires you and then doesn't interact with you for up to six months before you "officially" start... 🤔

A5: We all need to start treating all new hires the same! New Teacher Orientation needs to occur more than once a year. Why can't it be new employee orientation that happens monthly? When I worked in banking, 1 bank held this every other Monday becuase onboarding was ongoing.

A2: Did someone say plan an event? Let me get my craft paper & glue gun out! We have not done job fairs so we're starting there. We're also gonna lay the groundwork for our digital approach. We'll have a way for attendees to sign up to get notified when a job is posted.#K12PRChat

A1: I'm fortunate that my Exec Dir of Comms, Exec Dir of HR, and myself all have less than a year under our belt in our district. So we get to build our recruitment campaignS from the ground up. We can only go up! #K12PRCHAT

We officially opened the GSHC 10 days ago, and I’m already benefiting from this excellent resource in the Glenbrooks! The GSHC is a school-based health center open to students and staff to access health care at no cost. BTW, that brochure is available in our top 4 languages! 😍

Hey, friends over at @FrontHQ... How's that integration with @Grammarly going in the desktop apps... 😬🙃

This right here! Use images on social and the web too accessorize your text. That simplifies your workflows and is the easiest way to provide alt text. Otherwise, you must ensure that the text in your graphic is also stated in your alt text.
👀Too much text on social media graphics. 1. If you make a typo, or need to change something, it's way harder to update than if you had put the text in the photo caption. 2. ADA screen readers for people with visual impairments have difficulty with text on photos. #schoolpr
