Community colleges: classroom instructor salaries.

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. Existing law requires each community college district to expend during each fiscal year 50% of the district's current expense of education, as defined, for payment of salaries of classroom instructors, as defined. This bill would define salaries of classroom instructors to also include counselors and librarians and would require, commencing with the 2025–26 fiscal year, each community college district to expend during each fiscal year 60% of the district's current expense of education, as defined, for payment of salaries of classroom instructors, as defined. The bill would also make conforming changes.
