The Board of Education charges the Superintendent to maintain continuously a comprehensive, coordinated set of job descriptions for professional and classified positions so as to promote effectiveness, efficiency, and economy in the operation of the District staff.

Job descriptions for positions of Superintendent and Treasurer, which report directly to this Board, shall be defined as policies of the Board.

All other job descriptions shall be defined as guidelines of the Superintendent and will be originated and maintained in accordance with the provisions specified in the bylaws of the Board (See Bylaw 0131) and each shall contain the following provision:

Revisions to job descriptions shall be reviewed with the employees affected prior to promulgation.

Each employee will be provided with a copy of his/her job description at the time of employment and any revisions thereto.

Employees will be evaluated, at least in part, with respect to 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 serve as a role model for students in how to conduct themselves as citizens and as responsible, intelligent human beings. In particular, each job description shall indicate the staff member's legal responsibility to help instill in students the belief in and practice of ethical principles and democratic values.

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 Superintendent may find it necessary to revise job descriptions.

Following the revision of a job description, staff members who hold the positions for which the essential functions are described in that revised job description shall be provided access to the updated version and the opportunity to discuss the revisions therein with their immediate supervisor.
