Justin Evey, Director of Human Resources
Description:
With the recommendation of the administration, RESOLVED, that the Keystone Central School District Board of Directors approve the following recommendation for the board: Approve the Human Resources recommendations as shown in exhibits.
The Human Resources exhibit includes the recommended leave of absences, employment, transfers, resignations and retirements. Existing positions will be identified as filled due to vacancy and any newly added position will be identified as a new position. Employee leave—whether medical, personal, disciplinary or otherwise—can imply sensitive personal information about an employee’s health, family, or personal circumstances. Publicly posting the employee’s name could inadvertently disclose private details protected under laws such HIPPA or ADA. Even without specifying the type of leave, others may be able to infer private details based on timing or patterns if names are listed. By using an employee ID, the district ensures transparency of board actions (e.g., approving leaves) without the risk of violating confidentiality provisions.
