Community colleges: classified employees.

Existing law requires the governing board of a community college district to employ persons for positions that are not academic positions in what is known as the classified service. Existing law establishes procedures through which a community college district may adopt a merit system with respect to its classified employees. Existing law requires a community college district that has a merit system to appoint a personnel commission to prescribe, amend, and interpret rules regarding the merit system. Existing law requires the governing board of a community college district, including a district that has adopted a merit system, to fix and prescribe the duties to be performed by all persons in the classified service and other nonacademic positions of the community college district, except those persons employed as part of a personnel commission's staff. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the requirement that the governing board of a community college district fix and prescribe the duties to be performed by all persons in the classified service and other nonacademic positions.
