Human Resources would need a PASS with new discipline/job codes. Additionally HR must confirm instructors meet the minimum qualifications.
For academic disciplines, the minimum qualifications are a masters’ degree in the discipline of the assignment, or a bachelor’s degree in the discipline of the assignment and a master’s degree in a reasonably related discipline. A statewide ‘disciplines list’ defines the degrees that are considered to be reasonably related.
Counselors and librarians are also expected to hold appropriate master’s degrees. There are special requirements for employees of Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSPS) and Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS). For disciplines in which a master’s degree is not generally expected or available, the minimum qualifications are a bachelor’s degree (in any major) and two years of experience in the occupational area of the assignment. Assignments that fall into this category are generally in technical, trade, or industrial fields. Nearly 150 such disciplines are covered in this area. Examples include:
Administration of Justice
Interior Design
Automotive Technology
Manufacturing Technology
Carpentry
Office Technologies
Dental Technology
Real Estate
Electronics
American Sign Language
Fire Technology
Telecommunication Technology
Graphic Arts
Welding
For educational administrators, the minimum qualifications are a master’s degree (in any discipline), and one year of formal training, internship, or leadership experience reasonably related to the administrative assignment.
All public California community districts have hiring authority and must adhere to the minimum qualifications when establishing hiring criteria and/or determining hiring eligibility. The districts may include additional criteria over and above the minimums, but can never hire below the minimums.
