JOB-SHARING STAFF MEMBERS
A job-sharing assignment is the shared performance of the duties of one full-time, regular position by two (2) employees.
The superintendent/designee is responsible for recommending to the board when the best interests of students and the district would be served by creating a job-sharing assignment for a particular position.
The district reserves the authority to:
A. Determine the number of job-sharing positions, if any, within the district;
B. Require job-sharing employees to develop a written plan for sharing the performance of the position and to secure the written approval of their supervisor;
C. Dissolve any job-sharing assignment, or change a job-sharing position to a full time position held by one employee, at the sole discretion of the district;
D. Consider any request to create a job-sharing position in a position currently held by one employee;
E. Require job-sharing staff members to work full-time in the event of the termination or resignation of one of the job-sharing staff members at the sole discretion of the district.
Employees sharing a position will sign a job-sharing agreement annually, subject to the approval of the superintendent/designee. The agreement will identify/address, at a minimum, the employee’s, responsibility for participation in staff meetings, training, activities outside of the school day, and committees.
