Rules for Short-Term School and College Employees
This law creates a rule that assumes schools must move certain short-term workers into permanent classified jobs if they work long enough or are rehired repeatedly.
What This Bill Does
- Creates a rebuttable presumption requiring districts to place short-term employees in the classified service under specific conditions.
- Requires moving an employee to classified status if they perform job duties for more than 75% of a school year or college year.
- Requires reclassifying workers who leave before working 75% of a year but are rehired within the next year to do similar work for at least half the time.
- Mandates classification changes if a short-term position is used for at least 50% of three out of five consecutive years.
Who It Names or Affects
- School districts
- Community college districts
- Short-term employees in non-certified positions
Terms To Know
- Classified service
- A group of school jobs that do not require teaching certification.
- Rebuttable presumption
- A rule that assumes something is true unless the district can prove it should be different.
Limits and Unknowns
- The official text does not state when these rules will officially begin.
