. (a) Notwithstanding any other law, any person, except a
person required to register as a sex offender pursuant to Section 290
of the Penal Code, may be permitted by the governing board of any
school district to perform the duties specified in Section 44814 or
44815, or to serve as a nonteaching volunteer aide under the
immediate supervision and direction of the certificated personnel of
the district to perform noninstructional work which serves to assist
the certificated personnel in performance of teaching and
administrative responsibilities. With respect to this
noninstructional work, the nonteaching volunteer aide shall serve
without compensation of any type or other benefits accorded to
employees of the district, except as provided in Section 3364.5 of
the Labor Code.
(b) No district may abolish any of its classified positions and
utilize volunteer aides, as authorized herein, in lieu of classified
employees who are laid off as a result of the abolition of a
position. A district shall not refuse to employ a person in a vacant
classified position and use volunteer aides in lieu of filling the
classified position.
(c) It is the intent of the Legislature to permit school districts
to use volunteer aides to enhance its educational program but not to
permit displacement of classified employees nor to allow districts
to utilize volunteers in lieu of normal employee requirements.
