Human Resources
The Human Resources department is a resource to which employees can turn with questions about their employment and related issues.

Close to 12000 students attend the 10 elementary schools, three middle schools, and three high schools in the West Chester Area School District. These students are served by over 1400 employees. Included are approximately 60 Central Office and school administrators and over 900 classroom teachers, librarians, reading specialists, guidance counselors, nurses, psychologists, and specialists in art, music, and physical education. These members of the professional staff are supported by classroom aides, secretaries, and building custodial/maintenance employees. In addition, a fully staffed technology department supports the district’s internal and external networks, maintains the district’s large inventory of computers and peripheral equipment, and is on call to provide help with software problems.

All of these employees came into the district through the Department of Human Resources, which posts vacancies and processes applications in cooperation with other members of the administrative staff. The responsibility of the Human Relations Department does not stop with the employment process, however. The department oversees employee benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance and prescription drug coverage. Requests for sabbaticals and leaves of absence are processed through Human Resources. Policies related to employment, including the district’s non-discrimination and harassment policies, are written and administered through this department. The department is also part of the negotiating process when contracts with the district’s various bargaining units come up for renewal.

In general, the department is a resource to which employees can turn with questions about their employment and related issues.
