Vaughn Next Century Learning Center Hiring for HR Generalist at Pacoima, CA Full Time

JOB TITLE: Human Resources Generalist

STATUS: Full Time, 230 work days

REPORTS TO: Human Resources Director

VAUGHN HISTORY and MISSION

Vaughn Next Century Learning Center (“Vaughn”) located in Pacoima, is a large urban public school within the Los
Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Since the early 1970s, low student achievement had been a pattern. In
1993, tired of being helpless and hopeless, Vaughn became the first conversion charter school in the nation and was authorized by LAUSD. The charter was renewed in 1998, 2003, 2008, 2013, and again in 2018. Vaughn has over 25-years of experience as a successful independent charter school serving the district’s low-income students.
This previously failing elementary public school is now a full-service, community-based, PK-12th charter school that assures all students are college/career ready, digitally literate, and globally competent. Vaughn operates five contiguous campuses under one charter. Vaughn was awarded the California Distinguished School and the National
Blue Ribbons Awards.
