Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law authorizes the establishment of community college districts under the administration of community college governing boards, and authorizes these districts to provide instruction at community college campuses throughout the state. Under existing law, a person employed to teach adult or community college classes for not more than 67% of the hours per week of a full-time employee having comparable duties, excluding substitute service, is classified as a temporary employee and not a contract employee.
This bill would change the maximum time a part-time, temporary employee may teach, without becoming a contract employee, to less than 19% of the hours per week of a full-time employee having comparable duties, and would reclassify a part-time, temporary faculty member whose teaching assignment at a single community college district has equaled or exceeded 19% of the cumulative equivalent of a full-time teaching assignment for at least 6 semesters or 8 quarters within 4 consecutive academic years as a contract employee. By imposing additional duties on community college districts by lowering the threshold to become a contract employee, the bill 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.
