LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2245, Juan Carrillo.
Certificated school employees: permanent status: regional occupational centers or programs operated by single school districts.
Existing law authorizes the establishment of regional occupational centers or programs to provide career technical education and technical training to pupils. Existing law requires instruction in those centers or programs to be given only by a qualified teacher holding a certificate, as provided, but prohibits service by a person as an instructor in classes conducted at regional occupational centers or programs from being included in computing the service required as a prerequisite to attainment of, or eligibility for, classification as a permanent employee of a school district.
This bill would, notwithstanding that prohibition and commencing July 1, 2025, require service by a person as an instructor in classes conducted at a regional occupational center or program operated by a single school district to be included in computing the service required as a prerequisite to attainment of, or eligibility for, classification as a permanent employee of a single school district.
