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 Superintendent shall maintain a current, comprehensive, and coordinated set of job descriptions for professional and support staff positions.

The job description of the Superintendent 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.

Each professional staff member's job description shall contain the following provision:

"The employee shall remain free of any alcohol or illegal substance in the workplace in compliance with Policy 3122.01 throughout his/her employment in the District."

Each support staff member's job description shall contain the following provision:

"The employee shall remain free of any alcohol or illegal substance in the workplace in compliance with Policy 4122.01 throughout his/her employment in the District."

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 the requirement that the staff member serves as a positive role model for students and to help instill in students the belief in, and practice of, ethical principles and democratic values.

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 provided to the candidate.

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

During the revision of a job description, the Superintendent 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.
