In school district lingo “classified” positions are non-teaching positions — ones that don’t require a teaching credential. Teachers are known as “certificated” employees.
Positions like food service workers, bus drivers, secretaries, and instructional assistants in the schools are all examples of “classified jobs.”
ºÚÁÏÍø³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ is a Merit System district, which means that it has a Personnel Commission. The Personnel Commission is an independent body composed of three persons who hold monthly public meetings to oversee classified service employment with the District. Like a civil service system, the purpose of the Merit System is to ensure that employees are selected, promoted, and retained on the basis of merit and fitness without favoritism or prejudice.
Applicants who possess the minimum qualifications listed in the notices for positions will complete a written and/or oral examination for placement on an eligibility list from which vacancies may be filled. An applicant’s ranking on a list is determined by his/her score(s). Selection to fill a vacancy is made from the top three applicants ready, willing, and able to accept employment once interviewed by the supervisor of the position. Eligibility lists are in effect for one year.
