Careers with P-BVUSD

The Panama-Buena Vista Union School District employs three classifications of employees:

• Certificated employees must have a specialized credential (e.g. teacher, counselor, speech therapist, or school principal)
• Classified employees may not need a credential but may require further district testing (e.g. CODESP, clerical, accounting, etc.)
• Management employees fall into two categories:  Certificated and Classified.

The Panama-Buena Vista Union School District, with its focus on providing equitable learning opportunities for all students, is at the forefront of educational reform and committed to ongoing professional development. 

 HELPFUL APPLICATION HINTS:

• Carefully read the job description for employment procedures, qualifications, deadlines, required documents, and certifications.  After reading the job description, make a checklist of requirements and application procedures so none are forgotten in the application process.  Scan and upload all of the documentation appropriate for the position.
• Jobs in the District may be certificated or classified positions.  Certificated positions require college degrees and specialized credentials.  Examples of certificated positions include teachers, psychologists, nurses and speech pathologists.  Non-certificated positions are classified positions and may also require specific qualifications.  For example, instructional aides must meet the requirements for college units (minimum 48 semester units) or pass the CODESP test; a library media clerk must type a specified number of words per minute, as verified by a valid typing certificate from an acceptable agency.  Be certain you meet all of the job qualifications before submitting an application for a position. 
• Apply in a timely manner.  The application may be updated at any time before the application deadline.
• Register to take required tests when offered by the District.
• Allow time for scanned documents to be uploaded to your application if submitted to our district office.
• For classified clerical positions, please ensure that typing certificates are NOT acquired through online sources (typing apps: Ratatype, typing.com, speedtypingonline.com, etc.). Only tests taken in person and resulting typing certificates are accepted.
• Make sure all required application fields are completed, documentation is uploaded, and requirements are met before submitting your application.  
• Be sure to click “Finish and Submit” when finished with your application.  Look for a confirmation email showing your application has been successfully submitted.
