(b) Each board of education, through its executive officer, shall post a notice of vacancy for each vacant personnel position. The notice shall be posted on the board website, at a minimum, or in a conspicuous place at each school campus and worksite, at least seven calendar days before the position is to be filled. In addition, any person or organization, upon request, shall receive electronic notification of personnel vacancies from the executive officer. The notice shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, all of the following:

(1) Job description and title.

(2) Required qualifications.

(3) Salary schedule and amount.

(4) Information on where to submit an application.

The adoption of additional policies shall comply with the requirements and procedures of Section 16-1-30 by all boards defined in this section.
