The PERSONNEL COMMISSION is a five-member, independent body. It is the mainstay of the Merit System. Commissioners are private citizens who must be known adherents to the merit principle. Commissioners are appointed for staggered three-year terms, and may be reappointed upon their showing a continued interest and support of Merit System principles and practices. Two commissioners are appointed by the Board of Education, two are appointed by the Classified employees through their exclusive representative, CSEA (California School Employees Association). The fifth commissioner is appointed by the other four commissioners.

The Commissioners are responsible for guaranteeing that employment, retention and promotion for all Classified employees are based on Merit System principles.

The current Commissioners are:

Karen Bancroft, Chair - CSEA appointee (Term expires 11/30/11)

Deborah Jansen, Vice Chair - CSEA appointee (Term expires 11/30/09)

Dolores Press  - Commission appointee (Term expires 11/30/10)

Dr. Joseph Metoyer - Board of Education appointee (Term expires 11/30/09)

Joy O. Abbott - Board of Education appointee (Term expires 11/30/10)
