Who determines the minimum qualifications (with respect to education, training, and experience) for the position of county social services director?

The State Personnel Commission is responsible for classification of the county social services director’s position and establishes minimum qualifications with respect to education, training, and experience for the hiring of county directors of social services. In hiring a director, the board must comply with the state rules relating to minimum qualifications for the position, but may establish additional qualifications or consider other factors as long as the additional qualifications or other factors are not inconsistent with federal and state laws prohibiting employment discrimination.
