- Represent the public’s interest by providing a personnel system dedicated to the hiring and retaining of the best-qualified employees

Profile
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 meant to foster the advancement of their career service. To execute these responsibilities, California Education Code requires Personnel Commissioners to 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 typically meets monthly in the evening. Commissioners are paid $50 per meeting and are eligible to receive fringe benefits (health, dental, vision, etc.).
