Existing law authorizes the establishment of community college districts (CCDs) under the administration of community college governing boards and authorizes these CCDs to provide instruction at community college campuses throughout the state. Existing law authorizes the governing board of a CCD to terminate the employment of a temporary employee at its discretion at the end of a day or week, whichever is appropriate, as specified.
AB 1028 expands existing law to require the governing board of a CCD to terminate part-time faculty members using the procedures established in collective bargaining agreements that pertain to the termination of a temporary faculty member. However, the bill provides that in all cases, part-time faculty assignments are temporary in nature, contingent on enrollment and funding, and subject to program changes, and no part-time faculty member has reasonable assurance of continued employment at any point, irrespective of the status, length of service, or reemployment preference of that part-time, temporary faculty member.
(AB 1028 amends Section 87665 of the Education Code.)
