Support employees include all those employees who work in noninstructional, noncontracted roles and serve at the pleasure of the Board subject to dismissal, transfer, promotion, or resignation and the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement.

A regular employee is a person employed in a continuing position on a daily schedule after having completed a ninety (90) calendar day probationary period. Extensions to this period may be granted by mutual written consent of the employee and the immediate supervisor. Employees who have not completed such period of employment may be discharged without recourse and shall not be subject to the provisions of the grievance procedure for bargaining unit employees.

A District student who is at least sixteen (16) years old may be employed in School Age Child Care Programs.

Support positions are those listed in the applicable bargaining unit agreement as well as some nonbargaining positions.

The employment of support staff members prior to approval by the Board is authorized when their employment is required to maintain continuity in District operations. Employment shall be recommended to the Board no later than the month following employment.

Any support staff member’s misstatement of fact material to qualifications for employment or the determination of salary shall be considered to constitute grounds for dismissal.

All support personnel shall become familiar with the policies of the Board and other such policies, regulations, memoranda, bulletins, and handbooks that pertain to their duties in the District. Any support staff member employed by the Board who shall be guilty of any willful violation of the policies of the Board shall be guilty of gross insubordination and shall be subject to dismissal or such other lesser penalty as the Board may prescribe.
