CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2003–2004 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill
No. 124

Introduced  by  Senator Knight

February 05, 2003

An act to amend Section 44929.21 of the Education Code, relating to teachers.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 124, as introduced, Knight. Education: certified school employees.
Existing law provides that, after an employee of a school district having an average daily attendance of 250 or more completes 2 consecutive years in a position requiring certification qualifications and is reelected for the next succeeding school year to a position requiring certification qualifications, the employee is to be classified as, and becomes a permanent employee of, the district. Existing law requires each governing board of a school district to notify those employees of the board’s reelection decision on or before March 15 of each employee’s 2nd year of employment.
This bill would require an employee whose probationary period commences during the 2004–05 fiscal year and any fiscal year thereafter, to complete 4 consecutive years in a position requiring certification qualifications before becoming eligible to become a permanent employee of the district. The bill would additionally require the governing board of each school district to notify those employees of the board’s reelection decision on or before March 15 of each employee’s 4th year of employment, rather than the 2nd year.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

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