1.       Discussed the funding of a Coordinator of Athletics position.

                  Currently, a staff member has been performing the tasks of coordinating all athletic activities (including, but not limited to: scheduling of field hockey, boys and girls soccer, boys and girls basketball, wrestling, baseball and softball; coordinating bus schedules for away events; ordering of uniforms; coordinating use of facilities both internally and externally; providing for game officials and attending regular meetings of the Coaches Association.)

                  The committee agreed that these tasks should be performed outside of regular school hours, not during the school day as it is currently structured, and thus a stipend would be appropriate.  A figure was agreed upon by the committee, and will be brought to a vote of the entire Board at the end of the month.

2.       Policy

Reviewed the following:

• Personnel Records 4112.6.  The committee discussed the appropriateness of the viewing of district personnel records.  It was decided that the Superintendent or a designated supervisor could review the file.  Additionally, Board members can review the file if the majority of the personnel committee members deem it proper.  Policy will be presented to Board at next meeting for the first reading.
• Evaluation 4116, 4116.1.  Review of recommended NJSBA policy with minor changes.  Policy will be presented for first reading at the next Board meeting.
• Reduction in Force/Abolishing a Position 4117.4/Non-Renewal 4117.41.  As with all policies, committee reviewed to ensure that the policy is consistent with all contractual obligations and legal statues.  Agreed to use NJSB suggested policy with minor revisions. Policies will be presented for first reading at the next Board meeting.

3.       Sample Job Descriptions for Non-Represented Employees. The committee reviewed a suggested job description for employees not represented by a bargaining unit.  It was decided that the issue of benefits documentation needed to be discussed further by the committee.  Further discussion of the scope of benefits would be appropriate by the Finance Committee. 

 

Respectfully submitted,

Janet Hoven
