Compton Community College District: personnel commission.

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law requires the board of governors to appoint a chief executive officer, known as the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges. Existing law provides for the establishment of community college districts throughout the state, including the Compton Community College District. Existing law authorizes the board of governors to suspend the authority of the Board of Trustees of the Compton Community College District for a period lasting until June 30, 2011, plus a period lasting until the chancellor, the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team, the Director of Finance, and the Governor concur with the special trustee that the district, for 2 consecutive academic years, has met certain requirements relating to a comprehensive assessment and a recovery plan. Existing law, in the event of a suspension, authorizes the chancellor to appoint a special trustee to manage the district, as specified. Existing law appropriates money from the General Fund to the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges for apportionment to the Compton Community College District as an emergency apportionment, subject to repayment, as provided. Existing law, until July 1, 2029, requires that the Board of Trustees of the Compton Community College District assume those powers and duties of the Compton Community College District Personnel Commission that the board of trustees determines are necessary for the management of the personnel functions of the Compton Community College District. This bill would repeal the authority for the Board of Trustees of the Compton Community College District to assume the powers and duties of the Compton Community College District Personnel Commission until July 1, 2029. The bill instead would require, upon the ending of the suspension of the authority of the board of trustees, the board of trustees to assume the powers and duties of the personnel commission, as provided. The bill would require the board of trustees to establish the personnel commission in an advisory capacity, as provided, beginning in the year the Compton Community College District has repaid the emergency apportionment. The bill would, beginning one calendar year after the district has made its final repayment of the emergency apportionment, reinstate the personnel commission to exercise the powers or duties necessary for the management of the personnel functions of the district, as provided. The bill would require the district, on or before September 15, 2023, and annually thereafter, to provide an update on the repayment of the emergency apportionment to the Department of Finance, the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Education Finance, and the Senate Budget Subcommittee on Education. By imposing new duties on the Compton Community College District, 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.
