1400 - JOB DESCRIPTIONS

The Board recognizes that it is essential for District and employee accountability for each staff member to be fully aware of the duties and responsibilities of his/her position. Job descriptions document and describe the essential functions for professional staff positions, and thereby promote organizational effectiveness and efficiency. Therefore, the District Administrator shall maintain a current, comprehensive, and coordinated set of job descriptions for professional and support staff positions. Job descriptions of licensed personnel, and any revisions thereof, shall be approved by the Board and maintained in the School District Office.

The job description of the District Administrator shall be included in the Board policy manual.

As long as the provisions of the job description(s) are not inconsistent with Board policies, or with Federal/State law, they will be considered to be an extension of the policy manual and binding upon all employees.

Employees will be evaluated, at least in part, against their job descriptions.

Job descriptions shall be brief, factual, and, wherever possible, generically descriptive of similar jobs.

Each job description shall include a statement that reserves the authority to the District Administrator to assign additional duties and responsibilities as necessary within the scope of the employment position.

During the hiring process, the current job description for the position for which the individual is interviewing shall be reviewed with the candidate. The emphasis during the review shall be placed upon the essential functions of the position.

Upon employment by the Board, the staff member shall receive a copy of the current job description for the position for which s/he has been employed. The employee’s immediate supervisor shall review this job description with the staff member as part of the employment orientation process.

From time-to-time, the Board further recognizes that the District Administrator may find it necessary to revise job descriptions for support staff positions.

During the revision of a job description, the District Administrator may seek input from individuals who hold that position; however, their input may or may not be reflected when the revision of said job description is completed.

Following the revision of a job description, staff members who are affected by that revised job description shall be provided access to the updated version and the opportunity to discuss the revisions therein with their immediate supervisor.

The District Administrator shall prepare Administrative Guidelines necessary for the proper implementation of this policy.
