Trusting Relationships + High Expectations = Every Student Achieves

Classified Personnel Commission

Personnel Commission

Lompoc Unified School District’s classified personnel is under the merit system, which is a set of rules and procedures outlined in the California Education Code. The core principle is to provide fair and equitable treatment to all employees and applicants, regardless of political affiliation, race, or other protected characteristics. 

The California Education Code provides specific guidelines for Merit System regulations and the role of the Personnel Commission. The Education Code also mandates the testing and ranking of applicants in merit systems as well as the monitoring of classification and classification salaries. Appointment to the Personnel Commission is for a three-year term and is made on a rotating basis with the term of one member expiring each year.  The Board of Trustees selects one member of the Personnel Commission, the classified employees select another and the Commissioners representing the Board of Trustees and Classified employees jointly select the third member.
