Transportation Review

Durham Interim Superintendent Catty Moore statement on HIL.

HIL Consultants has successfully completed 58 salary studies across North Carolina. Our methodology has proven to be very successful when districts have taken our recommendations. Of course, district administrators have the final say on how the studies are implemented and do so as their budgets allow. The Durham salary study did not include implementation in the contract’s Scope of Work. Implementation was left up to district administration. We presented an estimate of $10.8 million for implementation based on our recommendations of boosting salaries of classified staff based on the years of longevity they worked with Durham Public Schools.

HIL Consultants presented a session at the conference of the NC Association of School Business Officials on February 6. The topic was "A Look at Classified Salary Schedules and Implementation."

HIL's partners exhibited at the NC School Boards Association Conference Nov. 11-12, 2021. It was a great time to talk with school board members and superintendents about the needs of districts and how we can help. It was great to be out face-to-face meeting with district leaders!

Dr. Glenda Jones has recently joined HIL Consultants as a Senior Consultant for Human Resources. She joins Brenda Jones, also a veteran HR official, in advising school districts regarding this critical area. Dr. Jones most recently served as the assistant superintendent of human resources and communications for Cabarrus County Schools (CCS).

The role of boards of education in school finance was the topic for a half-day training session presented recently by HIL Consultants.

Hurd, Isenhour, and Lopes form new consulting company.

Did you know HIL Consultants does salary studies to help districts compete with the market and other districts for talent? Our team spent April 27-28 meeting with the superintendents, finance officers, and HR leaders from the Northwest RESA. We are incredibly impressed by this talented group and by the leadership they are showing during difficult times. HIL is producing a salary study of classified and some Central Office positions for this region.
