Summary

Existing law requires the governing board of a school district to employ persons for positions not requiring certification qualifications and the governing board of a community college district to employ persons for positions that are not academic positions. Existing law requires the governing board of a school district or community college district to classify those employees and positions and requires that they be known as the classified service. Existing law establishes procedures through which a school district or community college district may be authorized to adopt a merit system with respect to its personnel. Existing law requires a school district or community college district that has a merit system to appoint a personnel commission to prescribe, amend, and interpret rules regarding the merit system. Existing law deems a person who has served an initial probationary period in a class not to exceed 6 months or 130 days of paid service, whichever is longer, as prescribed by the rules of the commission, to be in the permanent classified service, except as provided. Existing law requires that, in a school district or community college district that has adopted a merit system for its classified employees, an employee shall not attain permanent status in the classified service until the employee has completed a probationary period in a class. Under existing law, in a school district that has not adopted a merit system for its employees, a permanent employee who accepts a promotion and fails to complete the probationary period for that promotional position is required to be employed in the classification from which the employee was promoted. This bill, in a school district that has adopted a merit system for its employees, would require a permanent employee who accepts a promotion and fails to complete the probationary period for that promotional position to be employed in the classification from which the employee was promoted. Under existing law, in a community college district that has not adopted a merit system for its employees, a permanent employee who accepts a promotion and fails to complete the probationary period for that promotional classification is required to be employed in the position from which the employee was promoted. This bill, in a community college district that has adopted a merit system for its employees, would require a permanent employee who accepts a promotion and fails to complete the probationary period for that promotional classification to be employed in the position from which the employee was promoted. This bill would not apply the above-described provisions to a conflicting collective bargaining agreement entered into before January 1, 2023, until the expiration or renewal of that collective bargaining agreement.
