Personnel Commission reports improved recruitment; board stresses need to keep special education positions filled
Summary
The Personnel Commission's 2024–2025 annual report noted improved recruitment and completion of a Classification and Compensation Study; board members stressed the importance of keeping special education positions filled and creating paraeducator career pathways.
Randy Perez, Executive Director of Personnel Commission Services, presented the 2024–2025 Personnel Commission Annual Report and told the Board that new standards and accountability — along with approval of a Classification and Compensation Study — have significantly improved recruitment and filled previously hard-to-staff positions.
Board Member Patricia Love praised presentations tied to the Strategic Plan and underscored the urgency of keeping special education positions filled to maintain compliance and ensure students receive required services. Board Member Susan Alvaro supported closer collaboration between the Personnel Commission and Human Resources and asked whether long hiring delays had been resolved; Perez attributed improvements to the new standards and the study.
Board Member Edith Arias emphasized creating career pathways for paraeducators and ensuring hires are highly qualified. Board President Hugo Torres thanked Executive Director Perez for connecting the report to the Strategic Plan and for making the material accessible for both returning and new board members.
