Bill > S2582

This bill proposes to exempt all cafeteria positions in the Taunton school department from civil service regulations (Chapter 31 of the Massachusetts General Laws). Specifically, the exemption covers positions such as senior cook, cook, helper, cashier, satellite lunch room supervisor, head start cook/supervisor, production manager, and head cashier. The bill requires the Taunton school department to report on the hiring procedures and experience requirements for these positions to the joint committee on public service within one year of the act's effective date. The exemption will apply to employees in these cafeteria positions who were hired on or after July 1, 2019. Civil service regulations typically govern public employment processes like hiring, promotion, and job security, and by exempting these positions, the city of Taunton will have more flexibility in its hiring and management of school cafeteria staff.
