Blount County School Policy Review: Final Audit
The current staffing in HR is insufficient to accomplish the work needed.
Finding 1, Page 5:
- Policies delineating safety expectations for students and personnel are not sufficient to ensure consistency and accountability for implementing them district-wide. Human Resources does not have adequate personnel to manage personnel concerns, complaints, and investigations, nor to create an electronic management system for all personnel files and information. There is no centralized system for addressing and tracking concerns or complaints across all schools and departments.

- Most importantly, human resources must conduct all investigations into every allegation of abuse, discrimination, or harassment; complete full reports of all information collected; and coordinate with the District Attorney’s office if criminal charges are filed in response to an investigation.
- This (HR)office is also charged with ensuring that all employment requirements are met and reported to proper legal entities. The current office does not have a database for personnel files.
