R1

Each Board should revisit this subject in future CBA negotiations to ensure that competency is the determinant factor in thejob candidate selection process. Agree. Findin22 The PAUSD utilizes a process that requires teacher job applicants to teach demonstration lessons which are subsequently scored by a qualified review team. The scores are utilized as significant factors in hiring decisions.

R2

All Districts should consider adopting interview practices like PAUSD which provide opportunities for applicants to demonstrate their teaching skills. Disagree. Many Districts, including CUHSD have an extensive screening and interview process that may or may not already include providing candidates with various opportunities to demonstrate skills. Findin23 Twenty-two of the 32 Districts have polices covering the hiring of employee and board member relatives.

R3

All Boards should formulate and implement policies covering the hiring of relatives, including the disclosure of any familial relationships to the board, to avoid the appearance of bias or favoritism in the recruitment andjob assignment processes. Agree. Findin25 The following 18districts allow the Superintendent to override the policy of not permitting relatives to be placed in direct reporting relationships to current employees, on a case by case basis.

R5

Boards should adopt a policy of reviewing all Superintendents' decisions that override the policy that pertains to the placement of related employees in direct reporting positions. Agree. Findin27 Only Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union and Palo Alto Unified Districts responded that they ask about familial relationships on their job applications.

R7

All Boards should implement measures to identify familial relationships during the hiring process. Agree. Should you have any questions related to this matter please do not hesitate to contact me at (408) 371-0960. ~-- bc..~~ ~rely, ./ Diane Gordon CUHSD Board President
