EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK
The Evansville Community School District Employee Handbook is set by statutes and District policies. In case of a direct conflict between the Employee Handbook, and any specific provisions of an individual contract, the individual contract shall control.
An Employee Handbook Committee shall be established consisting of the three (3) Board members, District Administrator, and up to three (3) employee representatives from each employee group. The Committee will meet one time during each of the first three quarters of the school year, and the Committee Chair will forward recommendations to the entire Board during the Board’s second meeting of the month. The Board will approve suggested changes quarterly, after three readings, with implementation of approved changes effective immediately upon approval.
The Committee will discuss and review all proposals regarding the Employee Handbook and forward recommendations to the Board for review and approval. Proposals may originate from administration, the Board and/or employees. Proposed new or revised Employee Handbook sections shall state their potential contribution in furthering the mission of the District. In some cases a proposed change will be considered a clerical item and will not go to the Committee or the Board. These changes have been identified as those that will not affect the functioning of or performance of any employee group. A list of these items may be found on the District website with the Employee Handbook.
An Employee Handbook section shall be adopted or amended after the Board has had three opportunities to read and discuss the proposals at successive Board meetings. Where implementation of a new or revised Employee Handbook section needs to occur prior to the next board meeting, the Board may approve the section of the Employee Handbook at the meeting where the first or second readings occur.
The Employee Handbook is intended to provide employees with information regarding policies, procedures, ethics, expectations and standards of the District; however, the Employee Handbook should not be considered all inclusive. Copies of Board Policies and the Employee Handbook are available in each administrative office to all personnel and are on the District website at www.ecsdnet.org/. It is important that each employee is aware of the policies and procedures related to his/her position. The rights and obligations of all employees are governed by all applicable laws and regulations, including, but not limited by enumeration to the following: Federal laws and regulations, the laws of the State of Wisconsin, Wisconsin State Administrative Code and the policies of the Evansville Community School District Board of Education.
