Newark Board of Education was selected to present at the SXSW EDU Conference on March 6, 2023, in Austin, Texas. SXSW EDU (pronounced South by Southwest E-D-U) is known for their annual event that fosters innovation and learning within the education community. Human Resource Services (HRS) Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Yolanda Mendez, presented on Innovative Recruitment Strategies: Creating Sustained Impact!
The HRS team was excited to share strategies and initiatives to recruit and hire highly effective and qualified staff with school leaders from across the nation. These initiatives and strategies are part of the District’s 10-Year Strategic Plan (Strategy 1.4), which focuses on developing pipelines of candidates for hard-to-fill areas and provide support to all employees that enables and empowers them to fulfill their role in NBOE’s mission. Overall, the presentation was a success and demonstrates why Newark is the place to be!
