Our District has undergone a reclassification of several job title/responsibilities resulting in some personnel being now rated as hourly/non-exempt rather than professional/Daily, exempt.
A bit of background, to the best of my knowledge: the local Board of Trustees requested a study be done by the state Association of School Boards to look into how district employees should be paid/compensated. The ASB did a study of similar jobs, both within the education profession and outside industry. the Association returned with recommendations that the Board accepted and mandated. I am not sure of the review process of the District or the HR Department. (As an aside, I am sure the study was initiated because of economic reasons, and the District was looking for ways to save money - good stewardship of public funds.) The Board of Trustees approved the 2009-210 Compensation Plan on June 23, 2009. Many employees did not find out how they were affected until a Special Edition of the District's on-line news communication was released on July 9, 2009. Nine days into the current school year.
Knowing that many districts do not have video production facilities, my questions are these: how are those employees compensated in those districts that do have such positions or have positions that are similar? Should an employee appeal a decision that he does not agree with, and by what means should he pursue this?
Thank you all in advance, forgive my rant, but I am looking for guidance.
