Under the California Education Code, employment in community college districts falls into one

of two categories: “academic” or “classified.” Education Code section 87001, subdivision (b)

defines academic employment as “every type of service, excluding paraprofessional service, for

which minimum qualifications have been established by the board of governors pursuant to

Education Code section 87356.” Academic employees, such as faculty members, are part of the

academic service.

The remaining employees fall into the category of “classified” employees.

Education Code

section 88003 governs classification in non-merit system districts. Education Code section

88076 governs classification in merit-system districts. In both merit- and non-merit-system

community college districts, all positions that are not academic and are not specifically excluded

from the classified service under the Education Code must be part of the classified service.

Therefore, if a particular non-academic employee does not fall within a specific statutory

exemption, you should presume that the employee is to be classified.

Classification means that each position in the classified service has:



A designated title,



A regular minimum number of assigned hours per day, days per week, and

months per year,



A specific statement of the duties required to be performed by the

employees in each position; and



The regular monthly salary ranges for each position.
