Dear TASPA Family,

I hope your 2024-2025 school year is off to a great start! Over the past few years, our busy HR hiring season has become year-round rather than during the spring and summer which makes taking care of ourselves and our role in supporting our schools and staff more crucial than ever. I am confident that together as HR professionals, we will continue to make a positive impact on our students’ and employees’ experiences.

Now more than ever, we are relying upon our alternative certification programs, university partnerships and staffing agencies to provide us with quality candidates as well as companies to provide support services that allow us to become more efficient with operational tasks so that we can focus our attention on retaining our fantastic employees.

As we take care of students and staff, I know the demands of our roles can be significant, and it’s easy to become engrossed in the work. However, it’s essential to remember that self-care isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. Prioritizing your physical, emotional, and mental health will help you with balance, focus, and effectiveness in your work.

I am hopeful that within our TASPA family and with the support of TASPA staff, we will continue to provide our schools and employees with the support they need. While this year promises new challenges and opportunities, let’s continue to foster an environment of collaboration, support, and innovation as we embark on this journey to ensure our students have the very best educational experience possible.

With over 22 years of experience in school districts, I am here to support HR professionals, and should you ever need anything please do not hesitate to reach out. Best wishes for a great 2024-2025 school year!
