Forest Grove School District Seeks their next Human Resources Leader

Located in Oregon’s scenic Tualatin Valley, Forest Grove combines a small-town atmosphere with easy access to the cultural opportunities of Portland, and quick access to abundant recreational opportunities from the Oregon coast to Mt. Hood. Forest Grove is an ideal place to live, work, and grow, and home to one of Oregon's most exceptional school districts. If you are an experienced HR professional ready to lead with integrity, strategic thinking, and a commitment to excellence, please consider this outstanding K12 opportunity.

As a key member of the Superintendent’s leadership team, the Director of Human Resources plays a critical role in ensuring that the district attracts, retains, and supports top-tier educators and staff. We are seeking an experienced, visionary, and adaptable professional who can balance strategic leadership with hands-on execution, ensuring that HR systems and practices are efficient, transparent, and aligned with the district’s commitment to student success. This is an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact in a district that values collaboration and innovation.

The Director will provide strategic leadership and management of all aspects of infrastructure, policies, programs, and systems related to the District's workforce in collaboration with their human resources colleagues and the district's leadership team. Working closely with the Assistant Superintendent, they will provide expertise and guidance in all areas of human resources to support the district's strategic goals and mission. Through innovative, technically adept and data driven practices, the Director will be responsible for strengthening HR systems and procedures and for ensuring continuous improvement in strategic and focused HR outcomes.

FGSD is large enough to provide career growth opportunities, yet small enough to remain nimble, flexible, and responsive to the needs of staff. The district has strong relationships with labor groups, and seeks a leader who can build upon these strengths while modernizing HR practices and leveraging technology to enhance operations and support staff.

Salary is up to $174,000 DOE (2024-25 salary information). Confidential inquiries are welcome to be sent to Robyn Bean or Christy Perry. Our closing date for applications is April 4 at 5:00pm.
