44921
. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 44919, the
governing board of a unified or high school district may employ
persons requiring certification qualifications for the first semester
only, and classify such persons as temporary employees, whenever the
district expects a reduction in student enrollment during the second
semester due to students completing graduation requirements at
midyear. The number of persons so employed shall be limited to
requirements based on the anticipated reduced enrollment as
determined by the governing board. Persons so employed who are
continued in employment beyond the first semester shall be deemed
probationary employees for the entire school year.
Any such employee shall be reemployed for the following semester
or school year to fill any vacant positions in the school district
for which the employee is certified. Preference for available
positions shall be determined by the governing board using the method
prescribed in Sections 44845 and 44846.
For purposes of this section "vacant position" means a position in
which the employee is qualified to serve and which is not filled by
a permanent or probationary employee. It shall not include a position
which would be filled by a permanent or probationary employee except
for the fact that such employee is on leave.
