Summary

Existing law establishes a system of public elementary and secondary schools in this state pursuant to which school districts operate schools and employ certificated personnel to provide instruction to pupils. Existing law, the Charter Schools Act of 1992, specifies the procedures for the submission, review, and approval or denial of a petition to establish a charter school. This bill would prohibit, commencing with the 2020–21 school year, a local educational agency, as defined, from entering into a contract with a third-party organization to employ teachers who commit to teaching in the organization for less than 5 years, employ teachers to teach at any school maintained by the local educational agency that has at least 40% of its pupils being from low-income families, as specified pursuant to Title I of the federal Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965, or pay the organization any fee associated with interviewing or hiring a teacher candidate. To the extent the bill would increase duties on local educational agencies, it 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.
