HR consultant finds no widespread job‑classification changes after staff appeals; behavior assistant jobs flagged nationally
Summary
An outside consultant, Educational Management Solutions (EMS), reviewed 11 appeals of educational support positions and concluded district classifications and pay ranges remain competitive and internally equitable; the consultant advised monitoring behavior‑assistant roles that are difficult to fill nationally.
Human resources staff reported to the board that an outside consultant, Educational Management Solutions (EMS), reviewed 11 appeals submitted by employees seeking job‑classification or pay‑range changes and determined that the positions largely remain properly classified and compensated.
The appeals process collected requests from staff and supervisors in February and EMS conducted interviews and market comparisons. Positions appealed included several transportation roles (purchasing manager, transportation dispatcher, transportation parts tech, transportation route manager, transportation shop manager, assistant supervisor of transportation), information systems support tech, registrars, administrative assistants, assistant to director of activities, behavior assistant, and assistant supervisor of nutrition services.
EMS concluded the district maintains strong internal equity and is competitive in the regional market. HR staff noted the district’s recent pay increases likely influenced the final determination. EMS recommended continued monitoring of behavior‑assistant positions, which are increasingly difficult to recruit nationally; the district previously moved those positions up two steps two years ago to remain competitive.
The report was informational; no board action was taken.
