The Assistant Director-Project position was vacated upon an incumbent’s retirement in January, 2020. CSB's request is to cancel an Assistant Director-Project position and to add an Administrative Services Analyst III (ASA III) to ensure that the mandated content areas of nutrition, health, and mental health, disabilities, and parent, family and community partnerships are functioning at full capacity within the Bureau. The ASA III will oversee mandated programs over the Comprehensive Services Unit reporting directly to the Division Manager overseeing the Community Action Program, Child Care and Community Partners and Comprehensive Services. The position ensures compliance with HSPPS 1302.20, which mandates provision of a full range of services under comprehensive services program structure. This position leads the bureau’s systematic approach to ensuring staff acquire knowledge and skills to provide high quality comprehensive services within the scope of job responsibilities (HSPPS 1302.92). An ASA III classification is best suited to oversee specific program areas instead of an Assistant Director-Project as such positions must follow the State Matrix requiring to have a Director’s Permit to oversee child care center operations. CSB would like to fill this position immediately as the current Temporary Upgrade (TU) expires in a few months and the ASA III recruitment recently closed and we are expecting an ASA III Eligible List soon.
