The Superintendent will ensure a procedure for the recruitment and hiring of well-qualified personnel is established.
Once the Board, through the budget adoption process, has approved staffing levels, it delegates to the Superintendent the authority to recruit, screen, select, and recommend the employment of all staff members to fill the positions approved in the budget, and to sign employment contracts on the Board's behalf. The Superintendent will recruit and hire high quality personnel who reflect scholar demographics at all levels of the organization.
The Superintendent will bring their recommendations for all exempt positions to the Board for approval. The Superintendent will provide the Board with a monthly report of all other staff hired.
Unless the Board can establish that the Superintendent has violated law, the policies of the Board, or the provisions of an applicable collective bargaining agreement in the selection of candidates recommended for a position, the Board will approve the Superintendent's recommendations. Board members will not involve themselves, either personally or as a collective body, in the recruitment, interviewing, or selection process for any position to be filled in the District other than the position of Superintendent. However, this does not preclude Board members from foiwarding resumes or persons interested in a position to the Superintendent.
All potential employees will verify their identity and employment status to the Superintendent.
The Superintendent will maintain personnel files on all District employees either cuuently employed by the District or who were last employed less than seven years prior which proves that each employee has verified their identity, employment status, U.S. citizenship, or legal alien status to the Superintendent's satisfaction. Evidence to verify identity and employment eligibility will comply with law and any applicable administrative rules. Documents that may be presented include described in the Department of Homeland Security form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verifcation.
A job description for each classification of employee will be developed by the Superintendent. The Superintendent may involve employees in the development of job descriptions.
