ARTICLE VI HUMAN RESOURCES GUIDELINESThe Governance Council and its Staff Selection Committee shall have responsibility for personnel selection decisions within district guidelines, including the setting of applicable interview and selection procedures and determination of prerequisite job qualifications as long as they are not in conflict with applicable collective bargaining agreements.

SECTION A: Selection Committee CompositionThe committee for hiring of teachers, administrators, and other staff (aka: “Selection Committee”) shall have a maximum of eight members and a minimum of five, and be composed of the following:

- One Administrator or District Representative,

- One Classified,- Two Teachers, one with at least three years of experience at the school - One Teacher Union Representative,  - One to Three Parents/Guardian /Community Member - One or two alternate members each, for parent, teacher, administrator, and classified

staff.

When assembling a committee for selecting teachers, the goal should be to have teacher representatives on the committee from the grade(s) that have a vacancy.

When assembling a committee for selecting a principal, Committee members in each category shall be voted on by a majority vote of Council members. Council members cannot vote for themselves. A minimum of two parents shall be on the committee when selecting a principal, and a minimum of one parent when selection teaching staff. When selecting a principal it shall be a goal that committee composition represents both lower and upper grade levels.

Any stakeholder can contribute questions or comments to any of the committee members for consideration prior to the interview process. If a committee member cannot make an interview, the interview will go on without that member. No one person can represent more than one group.  Alternates are to fill in if a committee member anticipates not being available for interviewing a group of candidates. If a replacement for a committee member is needed, one will be elected by majority vote of the Governance Council. If interviewing must occur before the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Council, a temporary member will be selected by existing Selection Committee members.

SECTION B: ProcessAll candidates for the positions of administrator, teacher, and other staff will be interviewed and selected for recommendation to the district by the selection committee. The ultimate hiring of principal and vice principal is the purview of the Superintendent. The ultimate selection of teachers and other school staff is the responsibility of the principal. The procedure utilized for the hiring of administrator and teachers is as follows:

Step 1 Typically, teaching vacancies for the following year become apparent towards the end of the school year. Therefore, the Council will form a standing Staff Selection Committee, in the Spring of each year, through majority vote of the council.

Step 2 To provide the Selection Committee with a list of potential candidates, the district will:

Develop a list of preferred professional and personal qualifications for open positions and a timeline of interviewing activities

Prepare notification flyer and/or distributing such flyer where appropriate. Any such advertisements will be made in accordance with district procedures and in consultation with the District Human Resources Department.

Step 3The Selection Committee will establish an interview schedule, criteria (questions which reflect preferred qualifications) and process (i.e., time limits, environment, ground rules such as: no side conversations, sharing of questions among interview panel, time limit for portfolio presentation, confidentiality among committee members). As much as is possible, Committee members will use the same questions for all candidates they interview. The selection committee will only interview applicants from the District’s eligibility hiring list. Committee members must commit to consider all eligible candidates in the pool for a particular position.

Step 4 (Applicable to selection of a principal)The Committee will rank the top 3 choices based on a majority vote.  The District will vet the top 3 candidates and inform the committee if any candidates are not viable.  The Committee will pick from the remaining viable candidates or reconsider other candidates to make a new top 3 list of ranked candidates. The District will approve the top choice, or step 4 is repeated.  

SECTION C: Removal of Staff

Removal or reassignment of a staff member is a serious matter that must follow due process of district, city, state and federal laws. The Principal is responsible for formal evaluation of school staff. The council can request removal of a tenured staff member or an administrator; however, removal is the prerogative of the superintendent. Council can report violations of laws or of charter, wrong doing, negligence of duties, and concerns to the principal, office of the superintendent, or other district personnel. If the council makes such a report, it shall include specific incidents and be approved by a majority of members prior to submission. If the report is not approved by a majority, it can still be presented as a report from individual community members, rather than from the Governance Council.

ARTICLE VII AMENDMENTSAn amendment of the bylaws may be made at any regular meeting of the Governance Council by a vote of two-thirds of the members present. Written notice of the proposed amendment must be submitted to the governance council members at least fourteen days prior to the meeting at which the amendment is to be considered for adoption. Final adoption of amendments to the bylaws will be subject to district approval.

ARTICLE VIII Contracts, Loans and Deposits

SECTION A: Authority to use Funds

Use of funding sources overseen by the Governance Council or School Site Council requires Council approval. The Council may authorize any person or persons to enter into any contract or execute and deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the School, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. As chief Financial Officer, this general authority is deferred to the principal unless Council approval is required.

If a donor specifies a purpose, the donation can only be used for that purpose unless an alternate agreement is reached with the donor.
