The Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) is seeking applications for an appointment to a seat on the SCOE Personnel Commission. The Commission consists of three members—one appointed by the Sacramento County Board of Education, one appointed by the classified collective bargaining employee unit, and a third selected by the other two Commissioners. The vacancy is for the “Commission Appointee” position.
The three-member Personnel Commission is the public body responsible for the administration of SCOE’s Merit System—a civil service system for classified employees, and for fostering the advancement of career service for such employees. To execute these responsibilities, California Education Code provides that the Personnel Commissioners shall classify positions; hear appeals of disciplinary and dismissal matters, and protests involving examinations, selection, and appointment procedures; and prescribe rules related to a variety of personnel practices.
The Commission will review all applications and make the final appointment.
