For charter schools and districts
HR that understands
the board, the calendar, and the licensure.
For charter boards, school districts, and executive directors who need HR support from people who've actually sat in school governance, not a generalist learning your world on your dime.
What's different about HR in schools
School HR isn't small-business HR with a different logo.
It runs on board governance and executive evaluation, teacher licensure and certification tracking, the Title IX calendar and procedures, classified-versus-certified FLSA classifications, reduction-in-force rules that don't forgive mistakes, and an ED evaluation process that the board owns and rarely has the tools to run well. Miss one and it's not a fine, it's a board meeting.
How we help
The HR seat, with the governance layer built in.
We run the recurring HR seat for schools and charters the same way we do for any employer, with the governance and compliance layer that this world requires built in. Hiring and onboarding, employee relations, policy and handbook work, compliance, and manager and ED support, all on a monthly cadence.
The Executive Director Evaluation Reset
For boards whose ED evaluation has gone stale, inconsistent, or contentious. We rebuild the instrument, the process, and the cadence so the board can hold the ED accountable on something defensible, and the ED knows exactly what they're measured on. Scoped and quoted per engagement.
Our schools experience
