The superintendent's HR office does most of the
vetting and placing, but it is shackled
by the contract,
by state licensure practices (which may be set
by an «
independent» — and probably union and ed - school dominated — professional - standards
board),
by seniority rules that are probably enshrined in both contract and state law, and
by uniform salary schedules that mean the new teacher (assuming similar «credentials») will be paid the same fixed amount whether the subject most needed at Lincoln is math or music.
In addition to a painstaking review
by the hiring agency, SES candidates» applications are
vetted by the Office of Personnel Management's
independent Qualifications Review
Board.
