                             CONCEPTS AND ROLES IN PERSONNEL

The personnel policies of a school system are an essential part of the program of public
education in a community. The philosophy of a school system and the community is generally
reflected in such policies.

Through its personnel policies, the Board of Education wishes to establish conditions that will
attract and hold the highest qualified personnel for all positions who will devote themselves to
the education and welfare of our students.

Policy development must be approached with attitudes of mutual faith and good will.
Cooperation and participation of the employees' organizations, administration and the Board of
Education are essentials in the formulation of personnel policies. If the predominant values and
standards are based upon a democratic philosophy, the personnel policies and procedures will
add to the dignity of each individual

The long-range goals on which these policies will be based are:

   1. To recruit, select, and employ the highly qualified personnel to staff the district's
      schools.
   2. To provide staff compensation and benefit programs sufficient to attract and retain
      qualified employees.
   3. To provide an in-service training program for all employees to improve their
      performance.
   4. To conduct an employee evaluation program that will contribute to the continuous
      improvement of staff performance.
   5. To assign personnel to ensure that they are used as effectively as possible.

Provisions for the implementation of adopted personnel policies should include channels of
communication and procedures for the handling of professional and ethical problems, through
which all persons or groups affected may voice their opinions.

state of effectiveness to achieve the above purposes, the Superintendent of Schools is directed
