Job Description and Duties

Want to make a real difference for K-12 students? Facilities play an important role in student achievement; we know the physical environment has measurable impact on student learning. However, very small and rural school districts do not always have sufficient staff and financial resources to address some of their facility needs.

The Supporting Priority School Districts (SPSD) program will provide, to select eligible districts, direct technical assistance on school maintenance planning and funding. The California Department of Education (CDE) will collect data from these districts to develop learning resources and tools, and create an on-line portal to house these new resources, which will be available to all districts.

Under the direction of Education Administrator I (EA I) in Facility Planning and Policy Standards (FPPS) unit, the Analyst II provides analytical support to the SPSD program. Broadly, the Analyst II is responsible for: providing analytical support to the development and implementation of the SPSD program; assisting the FPPS Legislative Lead with development of regulations impacting the School Facilities and Transportation Services Division (SFTSD) and the rule-making process; coordinating with the Information Technology Specialist I (ITS I) in the development of an on-line portal resource for school districts, and a list of certified consultants for use by priority school districts.

This is an exciting opportunity to work directly with school districts in a way that will deliver tangible results.
