CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 1999–2000 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill
No. 397

Introduced  by  Assembly Member Florez

February 11, 1999

An act to add Section 44830.6 to the Education Code, relating to certificated employees.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 397, as amended, Florez. Certificated employees: criminal record summary.
Existing law prohibits school districts, as defined also to include county offices of education and the state special schools, from employing any individual in a certificated position who has been convicted of a violent or serious felony. Existing law requires fingerprints to be submitted to the Department of Justice when the governing board of a school district requests a criminal record summary of a temporary, substitute, or probationary certificated employee.
This bill would provide that those provisions do not prohibit a school district from employing a certificated employee for 45 days pending receipt of the summary, if, immediately prior to the hire, the certificated employee has been a certificated employee of another school district within the same county as the hiring school district state and if the certificated employee has not been terminated from any teaching position.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 44830.6 is added to the Education Code, to read:

44830.6.
 Nothing in Section 44830.1 shall prohibit a school district from employing a certificated employee for 45 days pending receipt of a criminal record summary, if all of the following apply:
(a) Immediately prior to the hire, the certificated employee is a certificated employee in good standing of another school district within the same county as the hiring school district state.
(b) The certificated employee has not been terminated from any teaching position.
