REPORT ON: CLASSIFICATION SPECIFICATION REVISION HEALTH CARE ASSISTANT Effective Date: June 7, 2011 SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE PERSONNEL COMMISSION I. Recommendation The Personnel Director recommends that the Personnel Commission approve and adopt the following proposed new classification. A. Classification 1. Establish the classification of Health Care Assistant. 2. Place the classification of Health Care Assistant on Range 21-B ($2,590.39 - $3,392.99/pp) of the CSEA Salary Schedule. 3. Adopt the classification specification for Health Care Assistant. II. Background and Analysis In July, the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District will be taking over the Palm Canyon site currently operated by Los Angeles County Office of Education which includes responsibility for 30 severely handicapped students. Due to the high number of severely handicapped students, HLPUSD will need a trained professional that focuses strictly on the students medical needs. The office of the Personnel Commission received a request from the department of Special Education/Individuals With Exceptional Needs and Inclusions to create a classification for a position(s) that would provide first aid, deliver specialized health care procedures and medical treatments on an as needed basis, to students with exceptional needs in a school environment. Attached is the classification specification that reflects the duties, responsibilities and requirements of the classification. III. Salary Analysis When conducting the compensation study, information both externally and internally was considered on salary, education, experience, level of responsibility, and accountability. Salary information was collected from local districts that had a classification similar to the Health Care Assistant. To help determine internal alignment, salary information was also collected from the same districts for their classifications that would be similar to our Instructional Aide II Special Education: District Classification Max. Salary/pp Includes Instruction Nursing Certification Required Difference Between Classes LACOE Paraeducator - Health Care 3,571 Yes No Paraeducator - Academic Readiness 3,205 Yes N/A 11% Montebello Health Assistant - Special Ed. 3,838 No Yes USD I.A. - Special Education 2,920 Yes N/A 31% LAUSD Health Care Assistant 3,926 Yes No Special Education Assistant 3,721 Yes N/A 6% Garden Grove Special Education Assistant 3,644 No No USD IA II - Special Education 3,468 Yes N/A 5% Average Salary Difference: 7.5%* * Montebello USD s salary not factored into salary difference because of certification requirement.
Health Care Assistant 3,392.99* No No HLPUSD IA II - Special Education 3,155.25 Yes N/A *Recommended Salary Range 7.5% Staff found that there are few districts that had a classification similar to the proposed Health Care Assistant classification. The average salary difference between districts Health Care Assistant equivalent classification and their Instructional Aide II Special Education equivalent classification was 7.5 percent. Montebello Unified School District s percentage difference was an outlier in the data, likely due to the fact that they require a nurse s aide or medical assistant certificate. Therefore, Montebello USD s salary difference was not included in the calculated average. Placing the salary of Health Care Assistant at 7.5 percent higher than the Instructional Aide II Special Education ($2407.26 - $3155.25/pp) would put it on Range 21-B ($2590.39 - $3392.99/pp) of the CSEA Salary Schedule.

REPORT ON: FOLLOW UP STUDY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF POLICE AND SAFETY OFFICE ASSISTANT POSITION Date: June 7, 2011 At the October 5, 2010 Personnel Commission meeting, a report was presented regarding the study of the Department of Police and Safety Office Assistant position. The report concluded that the Office Assistant s duties were consistent with the class description of an Office Assistant and that the creation of a new Police Assistant classification could not be justified. After the presentation of the report, Ms. Ford asked that staff conduct a follow up report in eight months to determine how the transition into the department had been for the Office Assistant. Ms. Ford asked that the following questions be answered: What duties have been assigned? Do the new duties require certain training regarding radio dispatching? How is the employee transitioning into the position? Staff was informed that the position has remained vacant and was only recently filled on April 4, 2011. In lieu of this finding, it was recommended (at the May 3, 2011 Personnel Commission meeting) that staff wait to provide this report until the incumbent has worked at least six months in the position in order to get a more accurate report as to the transition of the employee into this position. The Commission discussed that waiting six months seemed appropriate and requested a report for the June 7, 2011 meeting regarding the reason for the delay.
