Classification specifications are important tools providing the basis for a variety of administrative and personnel decisions, which contribute to the goal of a High Performing Workforce and the strategic initiative of Recruitment, Training, and Retention.

Current and accurate classification specifications provide essential administrative tools supporting organizational workforce planning, recruiting efforts, compensation determination, and employee development.
BUDGETARY/FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with revising the classification.
BACKGROUND/RATIONALE:
The most recent revision to the Board Administrative Officer/District Secretary classification occurred in 2022 and included an extensive rewrite of the classification specification. In coordination with the executive search firm assisting the Board with the recruitment of a permanent Board Administrative Officer/District Secretary, the classification has been reviewed, and additional updates are being proposed to ensure it remains current and continues to reflect the Board’s expectations. The changes are outlined in Exhibit A to Resolution No. 26-009. Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 26-009 as presented.

There are no disadvantages to revising the classification specifications.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS:
Staff considered the alternative of utilizing the current classification; however, this alternative is not recommended as the revised classification better reflects the evolving needs of the Board and the District.
