Bill > H4556

This bill aims to protect the rights of custodial and other non-teaching employees of school districts. It proposes to amend existing law to clarify that, in exercising their authority over hiring, promotion, and termination of employees in custodial, maintenance, and other non-teaching positions, school principals must act in accordance with the terms and conditions of any governing collective bargaining agreement, consistent with and subject to the provisions of the Education Reform Act of 1993. The bill seeks to address concerns that the original proposal could create ambiguity and potentially compete with the objectives of the Education Reform Act, which granted enhanced authority over internal school matters to principals to increase their accountability in preparing students for the global economy.
