§ 45241 Classified Service Position Control

Key Takeaways

  • •School boards must follow specific rules when hiring or managing staff who don’t need special certificates (like janitors or office workers).
  • •They can’t suddenly change a job to require a certificate if the law doesn’t say it’s needed.

Example

A school has a librarian who doesn’t need a teaching certificate. The school board can’t suddenly say the job now requires one unless the law says so.

The school must follow the rules for hiring and managing staff without certificates. They can’t change the job just to make someone get a certificate.

No governing board shall remove a position from the classified service by title assignment or otherwise which would then require an incumbent to be credentialed if such position is not required by this code to be designated as certificated.
