Orange County Public Schools District Goal Orange County Public Schools is committed to investing in human capital and values a high‐performing and dedicated team. The district anticipates critical shortages in the teaching and administrative ranks over the next five years due to increased student enrollment and the opening of new schools, projected retirements, a competitive job market and competing priorities. Consequently, there is an elevated sense of urgency to invest in human capital. By developing a district-wide culture of continuous learning, where staff is provided the time, resources and support necessary to develop job proficiency and satisfaction, OCPS will engage and retain effective employees.
