(p. 20).

Human Resources must be cognizant of the current expenses Finance is responsible for and that the procurement office has agreed to fund. This is important since this funding could impact how many additional employees could be added despite the projections outlined by Human Resources.]]> 2016-10-08 16:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_ramirez3/xu69g7bdo10b/wish/129289342 joseph_ramirez3 https://padlet.com/joseph_ramirez3/xu69g7bdo10b/wish/129289525 In Chapter 6, Bambrick-Santoyo (2012) suggests five strategies for a successful staff culture including: 1) setting a vision, 2) bringing the right people on board, 3) making a strong staff culture a priority from the moment employees are hired, 4) being aware of signs that culture is deteriorating, and 5) mold and review your staff culture continually.  Human Resources and Finance could benefit by using these strategies.  Human Resources must create a vision and share this with Finance so that they are aware of the goals when it comes to recruiting, training, and providing fringe benefits.  They must also ensure that staff culture is positive in order to avoid turnover and ensure that new hires are easy to bring on board. Finally, they must be aware of signals that show signs of a deteriorating staff culture as well as continue to improve and maintain a positive culture.]]> 2016-10-08 16:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_ramirez3/xu69g7bdo10b/wish/129289525 joseph_ramirez3 https://padlet.com/joseph_ramirez3/xu69g7bdo10b/wish/129351361 This 2004 study revealed that in order to reshape HR "efficiency and effectiveness", districts should focus on three key areas including: how to address the needs of HR employees whose skills were lacking, how to ensure that the department is more receptive, and how to utilize technology to better regulate information.  http://www.crpe.org/news/often-overlooked-hr-department-important-school-district-reform-study-shows]]> 2016-10-09 18:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_ramirez3/xu69g7bdo10b/wish/129351361 joseph_ramirez3 https://padlet.com/joseph_ramirez3/xu69g7bdo10b/wish/129353629 This blog by an associate professor at Rutgers University, Bruce Baker "manages to hit the all-too-rare sweet spot between dense academic analysis and facile punditry" according to David Snyder, reference librarian for the ASCD.  The blog provides current news related to school finance, relevant research, and a variety of slide presentations related to school finance.
