Bill > H2319

This bill amends Section 59B of chapter 71 of the General Laws to protect the rights of custodial, maintenance, and other non-teaching employees in school districts by ensuring that their hiring, promotion, and termination processes are handled according to specific rules. If these positions are classified as civil service positions, they will be governed by chapter 31, which outlines the civil service system for public employees. Alternatively, if a collective bargaining agreement is in place for these employees, the terms of that agreement will dictate these employment actions. This provision aims to provide clear guidelines and protections for these essential school staff members, ensuring fairness and consistency in their employment.
