Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to reduce the number of days for which completion of employment in any one school year, substitute teachers, except retired teachers and other retired professional educators employed as substitutes, accrue seniority exclusively for the purpose of applying for employment as a permanent, full-time professional employee and for which that number of days or more of employment is prorated and vests as a fraction of the school year.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to reduce the number of days substitute teachers, excluding retired educators, must work in a school year to begin accruing seniority for the purpose of applying for full-time employment. Specifically, it lowers the threshold from 133 days to 80 days, meaning substitute teachers will now gain credit towards permanent positions after working 80 days in a school year, with that time prorated to count as a fraction of a school year.
