Existing law, commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year, establishes a public school financing system that requires state funding for county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools to be calculated pursuant to a local control funding formula, as specified.
This bill would require the State Department of Education, by July 1, 2025, to update a salary and benefit schedule form, as described, to include salary data collection for classified school staff assigned to a schoolsite or sites in the same manner as that data is collected for certificated staff assigned to a schoolsite or sites, and to call this updated form the Salary and Benefit Schedule for the Bargaining Units (Form J–90) . The bill would require school districts, county offices of education, and direct-funded charter schools, by January 31, 2026, and annually thereafter, to complete the Form J–90 for specified classified and certificated staff assigned to a schoolsite or sites and report the Form J–90 to the department, and would authorize those local educational agencies to complete and report the Form J-90 for prior fiscal years, as provided. By imposing new duties on local educational agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the department, by August 31, 2026, and annually thereafter, to report to the Legislature on the progress of school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools in increasing salaries for classified and certificated staff assigned to a schoolsite or sites, as provided.
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.
