Welcome to the Personnel Management Assistance Teams (PMATs) Web site.


About PMAT

Senate Bill 1209 (Scott, 2006) established Personnel Management Assistance Teams (PMATs) in six county offices of education to serve all districts in the state.  The legislation also specified that one of the PMATs may be designated as a clearinghouse.

Definition of Clearinghouse

The central location for the collection, organization, storage, and dissemination of information and resources to assist the PMAT regional centers in providing comprehensive personnel management assistant services.

Purpose of PMATs

• To provide technical assistance to school districts in establishing and maintaining effective personnel management, recruitment, selection, hiring, and retention practices.  PMATs will actively market technical assistance services to districts.
• The superintendent of any school district, or county superintendent of schools, may request that the regional personnel management assistance team review the personnel practices of a school district under his or her jurisdiction and recommend practices or organizational functions to facilitate the timely hiring and placement of qualified teachers consistent with the personnel policies established by agreement with the exclusive representatives of employee organizations.
• Each PMAT will coordinate/complement services with the Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA) technical assistance centers serving QEIA schools and with the local county superintendent within the geographic region of service.
• PMATs will work in conjunction with the local county superintendents in providing assistance.
