Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally altered the workplace landscape and forced employers to rethink how work can be done. As a result, many employers have implemented remote work opportunities for employees.

To remain competitive in the job market, the Administration has explored making remote work available to employees. Specifically, the Administration launched a remote work pilot program in November 2022. In the pilot, eligible employees in the areas of Finance, Human Resources, and Technology were allowed to work remotely for up to three days per week. The Administration believes offering a remote work option in these three areas is a critical recruitment and retention strategy for the district.

Subsequent to the Committee meeting, the Administration has revised the attachments to this item.
