Section 8366 Of Article 16. Child Development Program Personnel Qualifications From California Education Code >> Division 1. >> Title 1. >> Part 6. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 16.

. Each person employed by a public or private agency as defined in Section 8213 in a position requiring a child development permit for the supervision and instruction of children, or for service as a physician, dentist, or nurse, or in the supervision of the child development program, shall be deemed to be employed in a position requiring certification qualifications. Each other person employed by an agency in a child development program under the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed for all purposes, including retirement, to be a person employed by the agency in a position not requiring certification qualifications. The provisions of Section 45053 or 45054 shall not apply to employees in child development programs. A district may lay off an employee required to have such a permit at any time during the school year for lack of work or lack of funds or may provide for his employment for not to exceed 90 days in any one school year on an intermittent basis which shall not be deemed probationary service. The order of layoff shall be determined by length of service. The employee who has served the shortest time shall be laid off first, except that no permanent employee shall be laid off ahead of a probationary employee. A permanent employee who has been laid off shall hold reinstatement rights for a period of 39 months from the date of layoff. Service performed prior to September 18, 1959, shall not be included in computing the service required as a prerequisite for attainment of, or eligibility to, classification as a permanent child development employee. A person who is employed by an agency as a probationary employee in a position requiring a child development permit for the supervision and instruction of children, or for service as a physician, dentist, or nurse, or in the supervision of the children's program and who has served in such a position for three complete consecutive school years as defined in Sections 44908 or 87468 and 44975 or 87776 immediately prior to September 18, 1959, may be dismissed only in accordance with the provisions of Section 44949 or 87740. Other persons who are employed as probationary employees in positions requiring such permits on or after September 18, 1959, may be dismissed in accordance with the provisions of Section 44949 or 87740.
