SUBMITTED BY:

Michael G. Dyer, Chief Counsel

BACKGROUND:

Subcontracting all custodial and grounds maintenance functions effective July 1, 2013, will result in the elimination of the following five job classifications:

1. Custodian shift leader (facilities/maintenance and operations);

2. Head custodian (facilities/maintenance and operations);

3. Custodian;

4. Ancillary custodian (facilities/maintenance and operations); and

5. Utility crew - grounds maintenance (maintenance and operations).

The last day of employment with the district for employees within these job classifications would be June 30, 2013. The decision to subcontract is a unilateral and non-negotiable managerial right of the district.

The superintendent will make provision in the procurement process for the hiring of employees within these classifications and for a pension benefit by the vendor(s).

Upon approval of this recommendation, the decision to subcontract these services shall be final and the superintendent would be authorized to take those steps necessary to implement the board's decision, including, but not limited to, initiation of the procurement process and the negotiation and submittal of a contract with a private vendor, or vendors, for approval by the school board at a later date.
