Human Resources - Certificated
The Certificated Human Resources department plays a vital role in managing all aspects of employment for certificated staff within the San Bernardino City Unified School District, including teachers, counselors, and other credentialed professionals. This department is responsible for recruiting, hiring, and onboarding qualified personnel, ensuring all candidates meet state and district certification requirements. It also handles assignments, promotions, transfers, and retirements, while maintaining compliance with relevant employment laws and education codes.
In addition to employment functions, the department oversees employer/employee relations, labor negotiations, and contract administration. It serves as a key liaison between the district and certificated employee unions, working to foster positive working relationships and resolve disputes effectively. Through collective bargaining and contract management, the department ensures that agreements are fair, legally sound, and aligned with district goals, ultimately supporting a stable and productive educational environment.
