Community colleges: faculty.

Existing law requires that 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, be classified as a temporary employee and not become a contract employee. Existing law provides that service in professional ancillary services, including, but not necessarily limited to, governance, staff development, grant writing, and advising student organizations, by persons employed under these provisions shall not be used for purposes of calculating eligibility for contract or regular status unless otherwise provided for in a collective bargaining agreement applicable to a person employed under this provision. This bill would provide that dual enrollment shall not be used for purposes of calculating eligibility for contract or regular status, as specified. To the extent that this provision would impose additional duties on community college districts when they are required to determine the status of academic employees as contract, regular, or temporary employees, it 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 these statutory provisions.
