Board approves $125,000 contract with RJ Harris to review nonunion job descriptions
Summary
The board authorized a $125,000 contract with RJ Harris and Associates to review and recommend changes to nonunion job descriptions to streamline recruiting and clarify expectations.
The Board of Education authorized district leaders to negotiate a $125,000 contract with RJ Harris and Associates for a districtwide review of nonunion job descriptions, with the stated goal of simplifying hiring and clarifying expectations for administrative and other nonunion positions.
The superintendent read the recommendation and the board approved the contract after brief discussion. “It is the recommendation of the administration that the Board of Education approve the proposal of RJ Harris and Associates for review and recommendations for nonunion job descriptions … The total cost of the proposal is a $125,000,” the superintendent said during the motion.
Board members asked whether this engagement duplicated prior work; the administration clarified this scope is separate from other contracts and focused specifically on job-description standardization. The motion passed on a roll-call vote and the administration was directed to negotiate a contract consistent with the approved scope.
Board members said they expect the work to produce either consolidated job descriptions or clear bands that can be posted to support internal staff advancement and external recruitment, and they asked staff to make results accessible once finalized.
