How does Springfield schools hire its employees?
District officials will answer the question posed last month about its hiring practices at tonight’s board meeting.
Wendy Ford, director of human resources for the district, will make a presentation on hiring procedures tonight, according to the district’s agenda.
Last month, representatives from the city’s Coalition for Justice and Equality approached board members about concerns with the district and hiring practices and what they called a “displacement” of black leadership in the district was a big part of that discussion.
The same topic came up at Monday’s CJE forum where the leaders of the group — pastors of several churches in town — asked residents what their concerns with the district were.
The meeting starts at 6 p.m. tonight in the city forum at 76 East High Street.
