Summary

Under existing law, when certificated school employees are terminated pursuant to a reduction in workforce, a school district is required to terminate the employees in order of seniority. Existing law further provides those employees with a preferred right to reappointment and an opportunity for substitute service in order of seniority. Existing law authorizes a school district to deviate from the order of seniority for those purposes for specified reasons, including the school district demonstrating a specified need for personnel to teach a specific course or course of study and the certificated employee having special training and experience necessary to teach that course or course of study, which others with more seniority do not possess. This bill would authorize that the specific course or course of study, that may allow a school district to deviate from terminating certificated school employees in order of seniority, include career technical education or career pathway program, and would further authorize that a school district may deviate from the order of seniority to comply with the school district's local control and accountability plan, as specified. The bill additionally would authorize that the specific course or course of study for which a school district may deviate from the order of seniority for purposes of reappointment of permanent and probationary employees includes, but is not limited to, career technical education or career pathway program. The bill would also make numerous nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
