ABOUT CSPCA

California School Personnel Commissioners Association is a statewide organization comprised of personnel commissions of the school districts, community colleges, and County Offices of Education who have adopted the merit system provided for in the Education Code, State of California.

Through publications, conferences, workshops, and other services, the California School Personnel Commissioners Association (CSPCA) stimulates professional growth by helping its members keep up with the rapidly changing public personnel profession.

Those who are active members are Personnel Commissioners and Directors in merit system school districts.

The purpose of CSPCA, as set down by the founders in 1971, is:

To promote and advance public education on a non-commercial, non-sectarian, and non-partisan basis, through various programs of research, investigation, and communication designed to stimulate and improve public school personnel management to the benefit of the public, the districts, and of their classified employees.

ABOUT THE MERIT SYSTEM

Very simply, the merit system is a method of personnel management which is designed to promote the efficiency and economy of the workforce and the good of the public by providing for the selection and retention of employees, promotional opportunities, in-service training, and other related matters, on the basis of merit, fitness and the principle of "like pay for like work."
