How will split appointments be handled?
State specialists will still continue to have split appointments between OSU Extension, OARDC and general funds. Educators will not have shared programmatic responsibilities (e.g., FCS/CD, AgNR/CD 4-H/FCS), but will be more focused on their specializations. 25. Many counties already employ part-time or full time 4-H program assistants. When these folks were hired, the job description and expectations were very different from what a 4-H program assistant/coordinator will have under the restructuring plan. Will present PAs become the new PA regardless? Will counties have the opportunity to open that position up? What would happen to those already employed? (17 Mar 09) If PAs currently are in these positions, we would expect that they would continue in these positions; however, with a revised positions description due to changes in job responsibilities. If a PA position does not exist and the county chooses to hire one, then the position will be posted.
