Goal 3 of the SLUSD Strategic Plan, adopted by the  Board of Education in April 2017, focuses, in part, on improving the employee experience in the SLUSD. This goal identifies three key initiatives: employee relations, employee development, and effective communication. The human resources department plays a critical role in all three of these areas, and is developing plans to expand and improve services for our employees around these initiatives. Specifically, plans are being developed to improve our onboarding experiences for employees, to systematically provide more training and professional development opportunities for staff, to increase partnership opportunities with our bargaining units around onboarding and professional development, to enhance and improve the scope of services service provided by this department, and to expand staff recruitment efforts. In summary, our goal is to focus on improving the services and assistance we provide our personnel.

To meet these goals, staff is recommending that the Board of Education approve a reorganization of this department that will do the following:

1. Change the name of the department from Human Resources to Personnel Services;

2. Create the Personnel Services Specialist job classification;

3. Approve the job description for the Personnel Services Specialist job classification;

4. Authorize staff to advertise for and fill two Personnel Services Specialist positions;

5. Reclassify the existing Human Resources Technician position to a Personnel Services Specialist position;

6. Eliminate one Human Resources Analyst position;

7. Update existing job descriptions to reflect the new department name; and

8. Advertise for and fill an Assistant Director position.

This reorganization will add clerical and administrative support to this department, which will enable the department to expand the scope of services offered. The Assistant Director will also work with the Business Services Department in areas where there are overlapping responsibilities between the two departments in order to streamline operations in this area and improve services for our personnel. Recent retirements in this department allow for the elimination of the Human Resources Analyst position and a reshuffling of duties without negatively affecting existing employees. The net cost of the changes to support the human resources and business departments is approximately $155,000 per year.

Approve the reorganization of the human resources department. 

San Leandro High School has the facilities to produce professional quality video products and productions. This facility is currently used by SLHS students, staff, and the SLAM academy. However, there is a growing need for video production services at SLHS and throughout the district. This need exceeds the capacity of the staff members who operate the facility. To assist these staff members, and to keep the technical components of this facility operating, the district has been hiring an outside contractor to provide intermittent support as needed. The demand for video production services has reached the point where it is more cost and operationally efficient to hire an employee to provide technical support for this operation. Staff is recommending that the SLUSD Board of Education approve the following:

1. The Video Production Specialist job classification;

2. The Video Production Specialist job description; and

3. The salary range for this position: Range 54 on the classified CSEA salary schedule.

Approval of this agenda item will also authorize staff to advertise for and fill this position.

Approve the Video Production Specialist job classification, job description, and salary range. 

The cost of this position will be offset by the elimination or reduction of the need to use an outside contractor to provide services to this facility.

Two years ago the Monroe library was painted and new carpet was installed. This happened long before the recent upgrades to most of the other libraries in the district. The facilities department felt that since similar murals were done in the other library projects that Monroe should also have a mural.

The regulations of the Williams lawsuit settlement require school districts to complete “Quarterly Complaint” reports that document the number of complaints for textbooks and instructional materials, teacher vacancies and misassignments, and facilities conditions. Additionally, effective January 2008, as a result of settlement with the California State Department of Education, districts are required to implement the Valenzuela Settlement Legislation (Assembly Bill 347). Notification regarding the complaint process is integrated into the Williams Complaint form which is posted in every secondary classroom as required. For the period of October - December 2017 the District did not have any complaints.
