Pueblo School District 60 discussed the high rate of turnover among its food services workers at Tuesday s board of education meeting.
Members of the board heard from Eric DeCesaro, executive director of human resources at D60, about what s been happening with the district s nutrition service employees in the past five years.
The nutrition services department makes up about 10% of D60 s employee base. In July 2016, when we could see that we were short by more than 60 people for budgeted positions, we held a hiring fair, DeCesaro said at the meeting. During that fair, we received applications from about 46 people. When training started, many of them attended. Three months later, only a small number of these people remained.
