Adopted: 11/18/10 
Revised/Readopted: 6/20/17
Orig. Code(s): GAB 

Position descriptions serve: 

  1. To describe all essential functions that the individual who holds the position must be able to perform unaided or with the assistance of a reasonable accommodation; 

  2. To describe attendance standards;

  3. To help applicants determine the qualifications needed to fill a position; 

  4. To help Northwest Regional Education Service District (NWRESD) administrators determine which candidates to recommend for appointment; and 

  5. To assist administrators in the evaluation of the employee’s performance of position responsibilities. 

“Essential functions” as used in this policy means the fundamental job duties of the employment position. A job function may be considered essential for any of several reasons, including, but not limited to, the following: 

  1. The function may be essential because the reason the position exists is to perform the function; 

  2. The function may be essential because of the limited number of employees available among whom the performance of the job function can be distributed; and/or 

  3. The function may be highly specialized so that the individual is hired for his/her expertise or ability to perform the particular function. 

“Attendance standards” as used in this policy means the regular full-time equivalent of the position, including leave and vacation provisions available through policy and/or collective bargaining agreements and any special attendance needs of the position as determined by the district. 

Position descriptions will be developed under the supervision of the superintendent for each position in the NWRESD. Each position description shall be dated. As position descriptions are reviewed and/or revised new dates will be affixed.  

Position descriptions will be coded and retained in a document titled Position Descriptions. The document will be available for inspection by any NWRESD employee or patron. Each employee shall receive a copy of his/her position description. Each employee shall affix his/her signature and date after having received the position description. 

Position descriptions will be reviewed annually or when vacancies occur. Initial or revised position descriptions will be approved by the superintendent.
