(1) Existing law, for a county superintendent of schools having an average daily attendance of 250 or more, requires an employee in a teaching position requiring certification qualifications to become a permanent employee of the county superintendent of schools if the employee is employed for 3 complete consecutive school years if his or her probationary period commenced prior to the 1983–84 fiscal year or for 2 complete consecutive school years if his or her probationary period commenced during the 1983–84 fiscal year or any fiscal year thereafter, and is reelected for the next succeeding school year to a teaching position requiring certification qualifications.
This bill, on and after July 1, 2016, would instead require, for a county superintendent of schools having an average daily attendance of 250 pupils or more, an
employee in a nonsupervisory, nonmanagement position requiring certification qualifications to become a permanent employee of the county superintendent of schools if the employee is employed for 2 complete consecutive school years and is reelected for the next succeeding school year to a position requiring certification qualifications. The bill would specify that, unless otherwise provided, the provisions relating to probation, the attainment of permanent status, and dismissal that are otherwise applicable to employees of school districts apply to employees of county offices of education, as specified. To the extent that these provisions would place additional requirements on county offices of education, they would impose a state-mandated local program.
(2) Existing law, for a school district having an average daily attendance of 250 or more, requires an employee in a position requiring certification qualifications to become a permanent
employee of the school district if the employee is employed for 3 complete consecutive school years if his or her probationary period commenced prior to the 1983–84 fiscal year or for 2 complete consecutive school years if his or her probationary period commenced during the 1983–84 fiscal year or any fiscal year thereafter, and is reelected for the next succeeding school year to a position requiring certification qualifications.
This bill, on and after July 1, 2016, would instead require, for a school district having an average daily attendance of 250 pupils or more, an employee in a nonsupervisory, nonmanagement position requiring certification qualifications to become a permanent employee of the school district if the employee is employed for 2 complete consecutive school years and is reelected for the next succeeding school year to a position requiring certification qualifications. To the extent that this provision would place additional requirements on school
districts, it would impose a state-mandated local program.
(3) Existing law, for a school district having an average daily attendance of less than 250 pupils, authorizes the governing board of the school district to classify an employee employed in a position requiring certification qualifications as a permanent employee if he or she completes 3 complete consecutive school years of employment and is reelected for the next succeeding school year to a position requiring certification qualifications.
This bill, on and after July 1, 2016, would make those provisions applicable only to nonsupervisory, nonmanagement employees in positions requiring certification qualifications. The bill, on and after July 1, 2016, would make those provisions applicable to nonsupervisory, nonmanagement employees in positions requiring certification qualifications who are employed by county offices of education having an
average daily attendance of less than 250 pupils. The bill would specify that the provisions relating to probation, the attainment of permanent employment status, and dismissal that are otherwise applicable to employees of school districts having an average daily attendance of less than 250 pupils, are applicable to the employees of county offices of education having an average daily attendance of less than 250 pupils, unless otherwise provided. To the extent that these provisions would place additional requirements on school districts and county offices of education, they impose a state-mandated local program.
(4) This bill would make conforming and related changes, and would set forth applicable provisions for school employees who are subject to the provisions specified above and are employed at the time the provisions of the bill become operative.
(5) The
California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
