Human Resources
The Benicia Unified School District’s Human Resources Team is entirely new, and they started during the busiest time of the year—hiring staff, orienting new employees, and rolling out new policies and procedures. What’s truly remarkable is how quickly they’ve built strong relationships with one another while providing exceptional customer service to our educational partners. We are excited to support their growth and feel fortunate to have them serving our organization. Dr. Pat Jennings, Alyssa Oxley, Michelle Gassner, and Vicente Sanchez, thank you for being BUSD All-Stars!
