Summary

(1) Existing law allows school districts to agree among themselves to designate a single district, or a county superintendent to agree to act on behalf of participating school districts within the county or contiguous counties, for the purposes of performing specified duties regarding criminal background checks and maintaining employment lists if a person is an applicant for employment, or is employed on a part-time or substitute basis, in a position not requiring certification qualifications in multiple school districts within a county or within contiguous counties. This bill, in addition, would extend this authority to a noncertificated candidate who is assuming a paid or volunteer position, as specified, in multiple school districts within a county or within contiguous counties. (2) Existing law, commencing on July 1, 2010, requires that a noncertificated candidate obtain an Activity Supervisor Clearance Certificate from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing before assuming a paid or volunteer position to supervise, direct, or coach a pupil activity program sponsored by, or affiliated with, a school district, as defined. Existing law exempts volunteer supervisors for breakfast, lunch, or other nutritional periods and nonteaching volunteer aides, as defined, under the immediate supervision and direction of certificated personnel of the district from this requirement. This bill instead would provide that the requirement to obtain an Activity Supervisor Clearance Certificate is applicable to a paid or volunteer position to work with pupils in a pupil activity program sponsored by a school district. The bill would provide that a parent volunteering in a classroom or on a field trip or a community member providing noninstructional services is a nonteaching volunteer aide for purposes of the exemption described above. The bill would provide that the requirement to obtain a certificate does not apply to a candidate who is required by the school district to clear a Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal background check prior to beginning the paid or volunteer activities. (3) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
