School positions are divided into two basic types:
• Certificated: An employee in a position requiring certification qualifications by or
pursuant to the Education Code. Credentialed employees (e.g., teachers,
administrators, health care, library media workers, etc.) are all in certificated positions.
• Classified: An employee in a non-certificated position
(e.g., office workers, custodial staff, cafeteria workers, etc.).
Employees in certificated positions are eligible for membership in CalSTRS,
while classified employees may be eligible for membership in CalPERS.
