HIRING AND RETIRING: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PERSONNEL SPECIALIST Over the next ten years, more teachers will retire than at any other time in our history. Over 50% of these teachers belong to the Baby Boomer Generation and as they leave the ranks of LAUSD, they will be replaced by a new generation of teachers. As a Personnel Specialist in Certificated Assignments and Support, Gayle Glazer, has a part in both hiring and retiring teachers. In fact, her programs such as Speech and Language, Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) Occupational/Physical Therapy and the Visually Impaired Program have critical staff shortages and remain great fields for  hiring opportunities now and in the future.   As one of the millions of Baby Boomers, Ms. Glazer will be retiring on July 1st 2013 after 32 years of service to the District. Even though she is retiring at the end of June, she will continue to use her remaining District days to hire new teachers and to process those teachers who are retiring. The  Certificated Assignments Personnel Specialists’ work  never ends and they are certainly one of the Districts’ hardest working employee groups, who take their responsibilities to staff the Districts’ schools very seriously. While Ms. Glazer looks forward to her own retirement, she is still working hard to ensure that retiring teachers are replaced with a new generation of competent educators who will continue to make students their number one priority.
