Peralta Community College District
Policy 1.18b
Policy 1.18B Interim Management Hiring Policy
It is the policy of the Board of Trustees that only the most effective managers are selected for the
positions of leadership in the district and that the Board seeks to have a management team that
reflects the diversity of our community. The Chancellor, as the leader of the management team has
the ultimate responsibility of recommending candidates to the Board.
As a matter of policy, the Board adopts the position that it has the right and responsibility to select,
organize, deploy, and assess the effectiveness of its management staff and resources. This policy
recognizes that managers are District employees and may be assigned to any site.
A person hired to an interim academic management position shall possess the minimum
qualifications prescribed for the position by the Board of Governors of the California Community
Colleges. A person hired to an interim classified management position shall possess the required
qualifications adopted by the Board of Trustees.
An interim management appointment or series of interim appointments for Academic Administrators
shall not exceed one year in duration. The Board of Trustees, or its designee, may petition the
Chancellor of the California Community Colleges System Office for an extension to an interim
appointment not exceeding one additional year, as required by a business necessity within the
Distict. A business necessity arises when compliance with recruitment regulations would result in
substantial additional financial cost to the District or pose a significant threat to human life or safety.
An interim manager shall have the same scope of authority and responsibility given to regular
managers, unless otherwise defined.
Board Policy 1.18 does not need to be implemented for purposes of reorganizations, reassignments
and/or lateral transfers college-wide, district-wide or any combination thereof. The Chancellor shall
receive input from classified and faculty organizations during this process and prior to a final
decision.
Application materials as well as all screening, hiring and deliberation documentations shall remain
confidential
