Department of Human Resources
“I am convinced that nothing we do is more important than hiring and developing people. At the end of the day you bet on people, not strategies.” --Lawrence Bossidy (GE)
Welcome to the Department of Human Resources in Brewster Central School District. The Department is responsible for all facets of personnel for both instructional and non-instructional staff. There are five bargaining units that represent the majority of staff in Brewster, including the Brewster Teachers Association (BTA), the Administrative Association of Brewster (AAB), the Clerical Unit, Substitute Teachers Association and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
Recognizing the importance of attracting, developing and maintaining highly trained professionals, the Department of Human Resources largely focuses on five areas:
- Recruiting and staffing
- Compensation and benefits
- Onboarding and professional development

- Organization development and performance management
