Education Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•School boards decide what jobs people do in schools, except for special staff like those in the personnel commission.
•This rule only applies to schools that use the 'merit system' for hiring.
•The school board can't tell the personnel commission staff what to do.

Example

A school needs a new janitor.

The school board can say what the janitor's jobs are, like cleaning classrooms and fixing broken desks. But they can't tell the personnel commission staff, who handle hiring, what to do.
