Existing law requires the governing board of a community college district to employ persons for positions that are not academic positions and to classify those employees and positions, and requires that they be known as the classified service. Existing law requires the State Department of Education, in consultation with the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, the Department of Industrial Relations, the Labor Commissioner, representatives of employee organizations, and representatives of voluntary local educational agencies to convene the Classified Employee Staffing Ratio Workgroup on or before December 31, 2024, as provided. Existing law defines, for the purposes of the above provision, "voluntary local educational agencies" to mean school districts, county offices of education, and special education local plan areas electing to participate in the workgroup. This bill would broaden the definition of "voluntary local educational agencies" to include community college districts. Existing law requires the above-mentioned workgroup to group classified assignments in a manner that reflects the environmental setting of the assignment, the type of work to be completed, the impact on the assignment made by enrollment at a schoolsite, specialized needs, including certifications or licenses, and other reasonable factors, as specified, and to recommend staffing ratios per grouping, as specified. Existing law requires the workgroup to report its recommendations to the Legislature on or before December 31, 2025, as specified. This bill would require the workgroup to group those classified assignments described above for both K–12 and community colleges. The bill would also require the workgroup to convene on or before July 31, 2025, rather than December 31, 2024, and report its recommendations to the Legislature on or before July 31, 2026, rather than December 31, 2025.
