Section 45105 Of Article 1. Employment From California Education Code >> Division 3. >> Title 2. >> Part 25. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 1.
45105
. (a) Positions not requiring certification qualifications
created by a governing board of a school district under the Manpower
Development and Training Act of 1962, the Economic Opportunity Act of
1964, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, or Section
11300 or Section 13650 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, any
future federal or state legislative enactment, or any other special
funding, and which are not a part of the regular school program
shall, nevertheless, be a part of the classified service as
established by Section 45103 or 45256.
Persons employed in these positions shall be classified employees
and shall enjoy all of the rights, burdens and benefits accorded
other classified employees. Their selection and retention shall be
made on the same basis as that of persons selected for positions that
are a part of the regular school program.
(b) (1) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), if specially funded
positions are restricted to employment of persons in low-income
groups, from designated impoverished areas or other criteria which
restricts the privilege of all citizens to compete for employment in
the positions, all these positions shall, in addition to the regular
class title, be classified as "restricted." Their selection and
retention shall be made on the same basis as that of persons selected
and retained in positions that are a part of the regular school
program, except that persons employed in the following categories of
restricted positions shall not be subject to Section 45272 or 45273:
(A) The position of instructional aide, as defined in Section
45343.
(B) Any other position involving personal contacts with pupils or
parents that is established to assist school-staff personnel
responsible for school-community relations; educational support
services for such areas as counseling, library or health; or the
correction or prevention of behavioral problems.
(2) Persons employed in positions properly classified as
"restricted" shall be classified employees for all purposes except:
(A) They shall not be accorded employment permanency under Section
45113 or 45301, whichever is applicable.
(B) They shall not acquire seniority credits for the purposes of
Sections 45298 and 45308 or, in a district not having the merit
(civil service) system, for the purposes of layoff for lack of work
or lack of funds as may be established by rule of the governing
board.
(C) Sections 45287 and 45289 shall not apply to "restricted"
employees.
(D) They shall not be eligible for promotion into the regular
classified service or, in districts that have adopted the merit
system, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 45241,
until they have complied with the provisions of subdivision (c).
(c) At any time, after completion of six months of satisfactory
service, a person serving in a "restricted" position shall be given
the opportunity to take qualifying examinations that are required for
all other persons serving in the same class in the regular
classified service. If the person satisfactorily completes the
qualifying examination, regardless of final numerical listing on an
eligibility list, he or she shall be accorded full rights, benefits
and burdens of any other classified employee serving in the regular
classified service. His or her service in the regular classified
service shall be counted from the original date of employment in the
"restricted" position and shall continue even though he or she
continues to serve in a "restricted" position.
(d) This section shall apply to districts that have adopted the
merit system in the same manner and effect as if it were a part of
Article 6 (commencing with Section 45240) of this chapter.
(e) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section
to clearly set forth that positions normally a part of the classified
service are included in the classified service regardless of the
source of income to sustain the positions and to effectively
implement specially funded programs intended to provide job
opportunities for untrained and impoverished persons but to do so in
a manner that will not be disruptive nor detrimental to the normal
employment procedures relating to classified school service.
