§ 24886 District Personnel Management

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can create a system to hire and keep good workers who are happy and do their jobs well.
  • •The board decides what jobs are needed and how much each job pays.
  • •The board can also get rid of jobs if they are not needed anymore.
  • •Usually, the general manager is the one who picks people for these jobs.

Example

Imagine a school district needs more teachers because more kids are coming to school.

The school board can decide to create new teacher jobs and set their salaries. They can also decide to stop having a job if it's not needed, like if fewer kids need a special kind of help. The principal (like the general manager) would then hire the new teachers.
