401.1 Recruitment of Personnel

Code No. 401.1

RECRUITMENT OF PERSONNEL

The Superintendent shall be responsible for recruiting personnel for the various positions within the District.  The Superintendent shall take affirmative action to encourage persons to apply in accordance with the District's affirmative action plan.  The Superintendent may make such use of other employees as the Superintendent may so determine.  The Superintendent shall use such methods, advertising media or other sources as may be appropriate to recruit personnel.  Job openings at the District shall be posted on the Iowa Department of Education’s online state job postings system as required by Iowa law. 

All applicants shall be required to complete a written application form provided by the District.  The District will perform criminal, child abuse, elder abuse, and sexual offender background checks on all persons offered employment in the District and/or as otherwise required by law.  Applicants shall not be charged for background checks except as permitted by Iowa law.  All offers of employment shall be subject to the District receiving, reviewing and finding satisfactory these background checks.  Employment of all personnel shall also be subject to Board approval.

This policy does not prevent the hiring or transfer of employees without advertising or posting when appropriate or required by a collective bargaining agreement or by law.
