Summary

(1) Existing law provides that a certificated employee of a school district and a classified employee of a school district, county superintendent of schools, or community college district who meets specified criteria involving employment with another school district, county superintendent of schools, or community college district is entitled to have their total earned amount of leave of absence for illness or injury transferred to the 2nd employing school district, county superintendent of schools, or community college district, as specified. Existing law requires the State Board of Education to adopt rules and regulations related to these provisions, as specified. This bill would delete the requirement on the state board to adopt those rules and regulations. The bill would require the employing school district, county superintendent of schools, or community college district receiving an employee's transfer of leave of absence for illness or injury to honor the transfer request at any time during the employee's employment with the subsequent employing district or county superintendent of schools. The bill would require state special schools to comply with these requirements. The bill would require the former employing school district, county superintendent of schools, state special school, or community college district to provide certain information in response to a request for the transfer of the total number of days, or the total amount, of leave of absence for illness or injury from the subsequent employing entity, as provided. By imposing additional duties on school districts, community college districts, and county offices of education, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) Existing law provides that a certificated employee of a school district or an office of a county superintendent of schools who accepts a position requiring certification qualifications in another school district or office of a county superintendent of schools to have their total amount of leave of absence for illness or injury transferred to that subsequent employing school district or office of a county superintendent of schools. Existing law provides that a person employed by the State Department of Education in a position requiring certification qualifications, and an employee of the office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and a certificated employee of the Commission on Teacher Credentialing who accepts a position requiring certification qualifications, in any school district or office of a county superintendent of schools to have their total number of days of leave of absence for illness or injury transferred with the employee to the subsequent position. Existing law requires a person employed by a school district or county superintendent of schools in a position requiring certification qualifications who accepts a professional education position in the department that is, or is intended to be, permanent, to have their accumulated leave of absence for illness or injury transferred with the employee to the department. This bill would require the total number of days of leave of absence for illness or injury of an employee described above transferred to the subsequent position. The bill would apply the provisions described in this paragraph to state special schools, as specified. By imposing new duties on local educational agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
