Summary

Existing law authorizes a school district or a community college district to adopt a merit system that establishes how to employ, pay, and otherwise control the services of classified employees of the school district or community college district. Existing law requires a school district or community college district that adopts a merit system to appoint a personnel commission and requires the commission to classify all employees and positions within the jurisdiction of the governing board of the community college district or school district or of the commission, except for specified positions that are exempt from the classified service. Existing law, for purposes of these provisions, exempts part-time playground positions from the classified service, except as specified. Existing law requires all vacancies in the classified service of a school district or community college district that has adopted the merit system to be filled from applicants on eligibility lists that are made up from promotional examinations or by appointments made by means of transfer, demotion, reinstatement, or reemployment, as specified. In a community college district not incorporating the merit system, existing law requires the governing board of the community college district to employ persons for positions that are not academic positions, which are known as the classified service. Existing law, for purposes of this provision, exempts part-time playground positions from the classified service. This bill would delete the above-described provisions exempting part-time playground positions from the classified service, thereby making those positions part of the classified service. The bill would require an employee employed by a school district or community college district in a part-time playground position as of the effective date of the laws placing part-time playground positions into the classified service to be deemed a permanent employee of the school district or community college district, without placement on an eligibility list or examination for purposes of placement on an eligibility list for a school district or community college district that has adopted the merit system. To the extent that the bill would impose additional duties on school districts and community college districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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.
