After your HQ stint, do you feel that you value add to your current school in terms of the experience and insights you have gained in HQ? Do you feel handicapped in your teaching in your current school as some of the HQ division work may not not be directly related to IP area.
Skillset-wise, having a big-picture view and ability to do systemic long-term planning would probably be what HQ stints are most likely to develop. That's probably why postings in divisions such as Higher Ed are considered good development opportunities, despite having little relevance to general education.

If you're concerned about school-relevant skills, looking for opportunities within divisions such as SDCD and CPDD could help deepen your subject knowledge.
