Authority
The assignment of PCN’s is initiated by the Superintendent and Human Resources, in conjunction with the Business Administrator, and after the Board of Education approves the creation of the position.
Position
A position is a set of duties and responsibilities specified in a written job description assigned to be performed by an employee of the district. A position may be full-time, or part-time, salaried or stipend, permanent or temporary, seasonal (summer school, after school, athletics, etc.) and either filled or vacant. A permanent position does not exist until it has been authorized and established by the Board of Education.
- Position Control Number (PCN)
A position control number (PCN) is created to represent each Board approved contracted position within the District. As each position is filled, the corresponding control number is linked to the employee who is filling the position. Control numbers that are not linked to any employees represent vacant positions.
Position Control Number – Creating and Maintaining
Position control data is maintained by the Business Administrator. The HRS system requires that all pay records have a PCN number.
Request for PCN for a New Position
Any administrative request to use a PCN for a new position, or to reactivate the PCN of an abolished position, requires Superintendent and Board approval. If the Superintendent recommends, and the Board of Education approves the requested position, the Business Administrator will create a new PCN.
