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.
