Bob,

On the item about the historian's position, that is Section 501(b) of the Pennsylvania Civil Service Act;

>>
(b) Persons applying for positions or promotions in the classified service shall be residents of the Commonwealth or former residents of the Commonwealth who meet the requirements of this subsection, and where applicable to the administrative district. Former residents of the Commonwealth must have relocated out of State for academic or employment purposes, shall plan to establish Commonwealth residency within six months of beginning employment in the classified service and must have: 
(1) graduated from a public, private or nonpublic secondary school in the Commonwealth or satisfied the requirements of sections 1327 and 1327.1 of the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L. 30, No. 14), known as the "Public School Code of 1949," within five years of applying for a position in the classified service; or 
(2) satisfied the requirements of sections 1327 and 1327 of the "Public School Code of 1949" or attended a public, private or nonpublic school in the Commonwealth at least eighty percent of the time while enrolled in grades one through twelve and attended such school within five years of applying for a position in the classified service; or

Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this act, whenever an appointing authority finds a lack of a sufficient number of qualified personnel available for appointment to any particular class or classes of positions, the appointing authority may present evidence thereof to the director who may waive the residence requirements for such class or classes of positions. <<
Regards,

Margaret

> Item # 1 - Information on State Civil Service Requirements Requested: This 
> week the NCH received a letter from a historian who had applied for a 
> vacant historian position with the state of Pennsylvania. But the 
> applicant was ultimately deemed "ineligible" to apply because, according to 
> Pennsylvania Civil Service rules, she was not a "resident" of the 
> state. Now we wonder, just how wide-spread is such a state Civil Service 
> residency requirement? If you have information about similar or contrary 
> state Civil Service requirements, please e-mail the editor at

> issue. We will publish our findings in a future NCH WASHINGTON UPDATE.
