Human Resources

Through improvements in automation and technology, we are striving to maintain a highly efficient and effective operation that treats every potential and current employee as an important part of the education family in Pinellas County. From initial application to retirement, we view each staff member as a vital part of our effort to provide the quality of educational experience that our community expects and demands from our public schools.

The mission of the Credentialing Team is to support the District’s goal of a high-performing workforce by ensuring that appropriately certified educators are in all classrooms.

Compensation
The Compensation Team supports the Pinellas County School Board in managing and administering compensation programs that attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified staff to achieve the District’s goals. We provide guidance in designing comprehensive pay programs, developing procedures, modeling salary and staffing scenarios, and creating and maintaining job descriptions. Additionally, the team ensures that all pay practices and incentives comply with applicable state and federal laws and regulations.

Office of Equal Opportunity
Office of Equal Opportunity will administer comprehensive services whereby all customers are given an equal opportunity to participate in programs, activities and employment; and monitor all practices, policies and procedures for compliance with federal, state, county and district guidelines.

Personnel Records
The goal of the Personnel Records Team is to increase the effective and efficient operations of the district's personnel records and verification processes through governance transparency, data protection, regulatory compliance, and cost reduction. The office of Personnel Records oversees the management of personnel files and personnel information.

Professional Learning
A dynamic, high-quality professional development program is essential in creating schools in which all students and staff members are learners who continually improve their performance. The Pinellas County School System embraces the National Staff Development Council (NSDC) Standards for staff development to ensure that a high-quality, ongoing professional development program, with follow-up and support, is available to all levels of the organization. Recognizing that high-quality professional development should be modeled after the NSDC Standards, Professional Development continually works with training providers to redesign professional development that reflects the National Staff Development Council (NSDC) Standards.
