"The objectives of this study were to: 1) Evaluate the Central Office organization structure at the director-level and higher to ensure that it effectively supports decision-making throughout the district ; 2) Evaluate Board of Education (Board) and district-level decision-making from both policy and process perspectives. The analysis included sub-systems of decision-making, including management information systems, communications, stakeholder input, as well as procedures and controls ; 3) Evaluate the effectiveness of procedures provided by the Pasadena USD Classified Human Resources Department staff and the Personnel Commission in the recruitment and hiring of classified employees. The objectives of the project did not include the performance audit of any departments or schools, or the identification of savings. Instead, the focus was on how the district and the Board make decisions and what improvements can be made in that regard."--P.1, Exec. Summary.
