The Personnel Commission is a public body responsible for the administration of a merit system which oversees the selection, retention and promotion of classified (non-teaching) employees in the public school system. It is composed of three members from the local community appointed for three-year terms with the term of one member expiring each year. The governing board of the school district appoints one member to the Personnel Commission. The classified employees of the school district nominate one member of the Personnel Commission who is then appointed by the governing Board. The two members of the Personnel Commission then appoint a third member.
