Purpose
Positions for classified employees shall be established by the Board in order to provide programs of education and other supporting services, consistent with the needs and resources of the community.

  1. a job description clearly descriptive of the duties and qualifications for which the positions were created,

In the exercise of its authority to create new positions, the Board shall give primary consideration to:

The Board shall, through its chief administrator, seek the advice of its administrative staff, in creating a new position or increasing the number of employees in existing positions.
