AB 1563

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law authorizes the governing board of any school district to permit a person, except a person required to register as a sex offender, as specified, to volunteer to supervise pupils during the school lunch period or any breakfast period or nutrition period, or to serve as a nonteaching volunteer aide under the immediate supervision and direction of the certificated personnel of the district, as specified. Existing law prohibits a school district from abolishing any of its classified positions and utilizing those volunteers for those services in place of classified employees laid off as a result of the abolition of a position. This bill would authorize the governing board of a school district to permit a person, except a person required to register as a sex offender, as specified, to serve as an unpaid volunteer for a capital maintenance project in the school district. The bill would provide that, to the extent these provisions conflict with any provision of a collective bargaining agreement entered into before January 1, 2013, by a public school employer and an exclusive bargaining representative, the provisions shall not apply to the school district until the expiration of that collective bargaining agreement.
