Summary

Existing law requires the governing board of a school district to employ persons for positions not requiring certification qualifications and to classify those employees and positions and requires that they be known as the classified service. Existing law requires the governing board of a school district to prescribe written rules and regulations governing the personnel management of the classified service whereby classified employees are designated as permanent employees of the school district after serving a prescribed period of probation that is prohibited from exceeding one year. This bill instead would shorten the maximum length of a prescribed period of probation from not exceeding one year to not exceeding six months or 130 days of paid service, whichever is longer. The bill would provide that, to the extent these provisions conflict with any provision of a collective bargaining agreement entered into before January 1, 2020, by a public school employer and an exclusive bargaining representative, the provisions shall not apply to the school district until the expiration or renewal of that collective bargaining agreement.
