WHEREAS, AB 361 amends the Brown Act (Government Code section 54953) to add the
following provision:

       (e)(1) A local agency may use teleconferencing without complying with the requirements

       of paragraph (2) of this subdivision in any of the following circumstances:

       (A) The legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency, and state

following provision:

       (3) If a state of emergency remains active, or state or local officials have imposed or
       recommended measures to promote social distancing, in order to continue to teleconference

health or safety of members of the public attending the meeting and/or the state of emergency
continues to directly impact the ability of the public, staff, students, and/or members of the

 Subject:   Approval of New Classification Specification and Salary Allocation
            Student Data Specialist I

There has been a growing need to expand the District’s data team, and establish a classification
that is focused on fulfilling a specific department’s data needs, particularly within the Ed Services
Division. We have some departments in which there has been evolving needs to specifically
manage data, implement systems, monitor compliance, and work with internal and external
entities to track, monitor and report the data. This position will also work in collaboration with
the Technology Services Department to ensure data is clean, and in compliance with District
reporting requirements (i.e. CalPADS, SIRAS, etc.) Discussions have been held with Executive
Cabinet, along with representatives from Ed Services about the need for this position, and on
01/11/2022 the Board of Education approved creating this position.

Creating this position will now expand the student data career ladder. This proposed
classification would become the second level in a three tier career ladder specializing in student
data processing and management. A Student Data Technician serves at a high school and
performs a variety of technical duties in the preparation, updating and maintenance of manual
and automated records and files for high school students. The Student Data Specialist positions
serve at the district level and perform a variety of technical, specialized and complex
computerized activities and coordinate data processing, analysis and reporting functions on
District systems that serve district-wide programs and services. The Student Data Specialist I is
assigned to a particular department in comparison to the Student Data Specialist II which is
assigned to the Technology Services Department and serves as a lead to the student data
positions, as well as a liaison to all District sites and departments, County Office of Education,
California Department of Education, and other outside agencies.

A salary survey was conducted among districts within Ventura County to identify and compare
similar positions, but limited data was available. Although technology positions exist, there were
none that were comparable to the established needs for this particular position at VUSD.
Therefore, a job evaluation was conducted in which the function, essential duties, knowledge,
skills and abilities of the proposed new classification were compared against existing
classification specifications.
Student Data Career Ladder

        Student Data Technician                            Range 215 ($3,581 - $4,471/mo)

        (New) Student Data Specialist I                    Range 250 ($4,163 - $5,196/mo)

        Student Data Specialist II (title change only)     Range 260 ($4,406 – $5,500/mo)

It is therefore recommended that the Personnel Commission approve:
      • the attached classification specification for the Student Data Specialist I, and allocate the
          classification to salary range 250 on the Classified Represented Salary Schedule.
      • revising the current Student Data Specialist job description to reflect a title change to
          Student Data Specialist II, and add the new distinguishing characteristics section.
