Personnel Commission

Office of the Personnel Commission

The Los Alamitos Unified School District utilizes the merit system which governs classified school personnel. This system is administered by the Personnel Commission which is composed of three citizens from the school district community who are appointed for staggered three-year terms. One Commissioner is appointed by the Board of Education, one is appointed by the employee organization, and the third is jointly agreed upon by the other appointees. The Personnel Commission, in accordance with California Education Code:

• Hires and promotes employees on the basis of ability;
• Removes appointments to positions from the political arena or personal favoritism;
• Ensures that employees doing like work are classified the same and receive like pay;
• Provides for fair and impartial rules and consistency of administration of the rules;
• Assures fair treatment of applicants and employees in all aspects of personnel administration without regard to political affiliation, gender, age, or religious creed, and with proper regard for their privacy and constitutional rights as citizens.
