Overview
This bill changes how school districts and community college districts handle short-term employees. Currently, short-term employees (those working less than 75% of a school or college year) aren’t considered part of the classified service. However, this bill establishes a ‘rebuttable presumption’ that if a short-term employee performs substantial work, is rehired for similar duties, or their services are consistently used for a significant portion of the year, the district must offer them a position in the classified service. This aims to provide more stability for these employees.
Key provisions
- Establishes a rebuttable presumption that districts must offer short-term employees a classified service position if they perform substantial work beyond 75% of a school or college year.
- Creates a presumption that a district must rehire a short-term employee for similar duties if they voluntarily leave and are rehired.
- Establishes a presumption that a district must rehire a short-term employee if their services are consistently used for at least 50% of a school or college year over three consecutive years.
- Defines ‘short-term employee’ and ‘classified service’ for clarity.
- Specifies how 75% of a school or college year is calculated (195 working days).
- Applies to school districts not using the state’s merit system.
- Similar provisions are included for community college districts.
