IMPORTANT NOTES

ESSENTIAL DUTIES
Job descriptions are designed and intended only to summarize the essential duties, responsibilities, qualifications, and requirements for the purpose of clarifying the general nature and scope of a position’s role as part of the overall organization. Job descriptions do not list all tasks an employee might be expected to perform, and they do not limit the right of the employer/supervisor to assign additional tasks or otherwise to modify duties to be performed – even if seemingly unrelated to the basic job.

Every employee has a duty to perform all assigned tasks.

Fringe Benefits
FICA is paid by the employee and matched by the School District. Temporary workers do not qualify for employee benefits.
