Human Resources/Employment

The mission of the Douglas County School System Human Resources Department is to provide excellence in service as we treat each person as a valuable customer. Our department will take a leadership role and provide service in support of the vision of the Douglas County School System by promoting the concept that our employees are our most valuable resource and will be treated as such.

We will do this by:

• Ensuring that the Human Resources Department staff are given the tools, training and motivation to operate in the most efficient and effective manner.

• Promoting, recruiting, and retaining the best qualified people, recognizing and encouraging the value of diversity in the workplace.

• Promoting a competitive salary and benefits package that demonstrates the value that we place on our employees while also allowing our district to be competitive in recruitment and retention.

• Support work environments and school cultures that provide safe, healthy, and secure settings for teaching and learning to take place.

• Establishing, administering, and effectively communicating sound policies, rules, and practices that treat employees with dignity and equality while maintaining school system compliance with employment and labor laws, school board policy, and federal and state laws.
