Human Resources & Legal Services

It is the mission of the Kent ISD Human Resources Department to provide quality Human Resource services to attract, develop, motivate and retain a diverse workforce within a supportive work environment. We do this with an emphasis on customer satisfaction, accountability, collaboration, community orientation and continuous improvement.

The Kent ISD Human Resources team purposes to further the region's mission of serving our customers by providing value-added services through collaboration and leadership for learning.

Our team oversees functions of more than 1,600 full-time and part-time staff in the ISD. We also support the efforts of 20 public school districts in Kent County through consultant and technical assistance. Additionally, by providing a regular forum for discussion of key issues, the Kent Human Resource group, we are able to provide leadership and resources that help area human resource administrators Lead Learning in their own districts. We pride ourselves on our flexibility, accessibility, and overall sense of caring for our staff and community.

Continual collaboration is the way we work, both with our school districts and our community partners. We freely share these programs, many of which become models for our region or even the state.
