Personnel Commission

The Personnel Commission is a separate agency authorized by the state to be responsible for certain personnel matters affecting classified school employees. The Marin County Office of Education Personnel Commission is composed of three members appointed for three-year staggered terms.

In accordance with the California Education Code Section 45245:

• One member of the Commission is appointed by the Superintendent
• One member of the Commission, nominated by classified employees, is appointed by the Superintendent;
• One member of the Commission is appointed by the former two.

Appointments are made alternately for three-year terms. Commission members
must be registered voters of Marin County and are required to be known adherents to
the principles of the Merit System.

The Marin County Office of Education is currently undergoing an agency-wide Classification and Compensation Study for its classified employees, which is overseen by the Personnel Commission Services.

What is a Merit System?

Merit System law provides that classified employees are selected, retained and promoted on the basis of merit and fitness, exclusive of discrimination due to actual or perceived race, color, ethnicity, age, religion, political affiliation, marital status, disability, gender, sexual orientation or national origin. The Merit System means that an impartial body is responsible for implementing and interpreting Merit System rules and adjudicating appeals on those facets of employment within its purview.
