(1) Existing law requires a probationary employee who, in any one school year, has served for at least 75% of the number of days the regular schools of the school district in which the employee is employed are maintained to be deemed to have served a complete school year. Existing law also requires a probationary employee of an evening school who, in any one school year, has served for at least 75% of the number of days the evening schools of the school district in which the employee is employed are in session to be deemed to have served a complete school year. This bill would, commencing July 1, 2024, remove that requirement for a probationary employee of an evening school and instead require a probationary employee of an adult education program to be deemed to have served a complete school year if the employee serves for at least 75% of the hours constituting a full-time equivalent position for adult education programs in the school district. The bill would specify that, to the extent the provisions of the bill conflict with any provision of a collective bargaining agreement entered into before July 1, 2024, by a public school employer and an exclusive bargaining representative, the provisions of the bill would not apply to the school district until the expiration or renewal of that collective bargaining agreement. (2) Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district to employ certificated employees in programs and projects to perform services conducted under contract with public or private agencies, or categorically funded projects that are not required by federal or state law. Existing law requires the employee and the governing board of the school to mutually agree, in writing, on the terms and conditions of that employment. This bill would, commencing July 1, 2024, require certain information to be included in that employment agreement. Existing law prohibits service pursuant to that employment authorization from being included in computing the service required as a prerequisite to attainment of, or eligibility to, classification as a permanent employee unless the person served at least 75% of the number of days the regular schools of the school district are maintained, and the person is subsequently employed as a probationary employee in a position requiring certification qualifications. This bill would, commencing July 1, 2024, specify that these provisions do not apply to a teacher of classes for adults.
