General Personnel Policies
The quality of the professional and support staff is of primary importance in achieving the district’s educational objectives. In filling any licensed or classified position, the district will seek out and appoint the best qualified person available for the position.
The employment of candidates to fill licensed positions will be approved by the Board upon recommendation of the superintendent. The superintendent is given the authority to employ part-time and classified positions. The superintendent or his designee will employ all substitutes as needed.
Notice of all regular job openings will be made available to current staff members. Vacant positions may also be advertised through professional and institutional placement agencies, appropriate employment agencies, and general and specialized media.
Applications or inquiries concerning job openings will be received by the personnel officer on standard district application form. The selection process will be coordinated and supervised by the superintendent, with the involvement of other appropriate administrators and supervisors.
Each candidate selected for a position with the district must possess or demonstrate eligibility for any license or permit required to fill the position. In addition, the individual must be insurable by the district’s insurance carrier for any position requiring liability insurance coverage or bonding.
In accordance with Oregon law, the district may require any candidate as a condition of employment to hold a current, recognized first aid card. A current employee required to hold a card will obtain it within 90 days from the date the district gives notification.
Personnel selected for employment will be notified in writing following Board approval. This notification will specify the assignment, the job classification, the salary or hourly rate, the length of the work week, and the length of the assignment. Unsuccessful applicants who were interviewed will be notified.
Initial assignments will be made by the superintendent or designee.
The superintendent will establish regulations governing the recruitment, selection, and employment of personnel in accordance with this policy.
