Bill > AB1233

This bill requires noncertificated job applicants (such as support staff, administrators, and other non-teaching school employees) to disclose their complete employment history, including positions at public and private schools, when applying for jobs in California school districts, county education offices, charter schools, and state special schools. The bill mandates that the California School Information Services develop a statewide data system by July 1, 2027, to track investigations of egregious misconduct for noncertificated employees. This system will record substantiated reports of serious misconduct, including details like employee names, employment dates, and investigation outcomes, while explicitly excluding unfounded or inconclusive investigations. Employers will be required to submit notices about investigations, employee hiring, position changes, and departures within specific timeframes. Before hiring a noncertificated employee, employers must review this statewide system to check for prior substantiated misconduct investigations. The bill defines "egregious misconduct" according to existing legal standards and includes provisions for potential state reimbursement to local agencies for implementing these new requirements. This legislation aims to improve transparency and safety in school hiring practices by creating a comprehensive tracking mechanism for noncertificated employee histories.
