- OLD BUSINESS
- For Second Reading and Adoption, Recommend DELETE Policy #5211 – Transfers
. WSSDA recommends that the policy be deleted because most transfers
and reassignments for represented personnel are regulated by collective
bargaining agreements and this policy can create confusion if it runs
counter to such provisions. Non-represented personnel work in such
varied and assorted positions that a comprehensive policy is difficult
to apply to all situations.
- For Second Reading and Adoption, Recommend DELETE Policy #5215 – Assignment and Transfer of Certificated Administrative Staff.
WSSDA recommends that the policy be deleted because it is an
unnecessary reiteration of the procedure and process for transfer of
certificated administrative staff pursuant to RCW 28A.405.230.
- For Second Reading and Adoption, Recommend DELETE Policy #5230 – Job Descriptions/Responsibilities
. WSSDA recommends that the policy be deleted due to the fact that
Human Resources departments regularly modify job descriptions, so
listing them in policy is inappropriate.
- d) Recommend Tabling update of Policy #6801 –Capital Assets/Theft Sensitive Assets
. OSPI raised concerns that districts’ policies did not require that
these assets be specifically identified. WSSDA worked with OSPI to
develop revisions to Policy and Procedure #6801 to address these audit
issues. Sequim is in the process of determining how those assets will
be tracked, so further work is required before this policy is ready to
be approved. Classified Essential . Heidi Hietpas, Executive Director of Finance and Operations
