642       ESTABLISHMENT AND LIFE OF ELIGIBILITY LISTS

Education Code 45300

                   Eligibility lists shall be established for a period of not less than one year except that when a list is              exhausted for appointments to current vacancies, through use and eligibles being unavailable, the              commission may, upon the recommendation of the officer charged with certifying eligibles, and after due              notice to eligibles who may have made themselves unavailable for appointment, terminate it before a year              has expired.

                   Eligibility lists may be established for a period of six months upon the approval of the personnel commission as long as the six months’ duration of such a list is noted in the recruitment bulletin announcing the examination. If a list is exhausted for appointment to current vacancies, through use and eligibles being unavailable, the commission may, upon the recommendation of the officer charged with certifying eligibles, and after due notice to eligibles who may have made themselves unavailable for appointment, terminate it before the expiration date.

                   A list may be extended for an additional period of two years or less at the discretion of the commission.

A.         After an examination, names of the successful candidates shall be placed on the eligibility list in order of              their final examination scores as modified by the addition of seniority credit or veteran's credits when              appropriate.

B.         Eligibility lists may be established for six months upon the approval of the Personnel Commission if the six months duration of such a list was noted in the recruitment bulletin announcing the examination. In all other instances the minimum length of time during which an eligibility list shall remain in force shall be one year. A list shall not be extended if a comparable list, i.e., an area list or a District-wide list, for the same class has been established during the year, even when there have been mergers of lists. In all other cases, an area list or District-wide list shall be extended until a comparable list for the class is established, but not to exceed two additional years.

C.         A District-wide eligibility list for a class shall be applicable to all positions in that class.

D.         Any names remaining on an extended area or District-wide eligibility list shall be removed when a              comparable list is established for the same class.

To reflect changes in the Education Code regarding responsibilities of the Personnel Commission and eligibility

   list longevity.
