Bill > H4799

This bill aims to protect the rights of custodial and other non-teaching employees of school districts. However, the Governor is returning the bill unsigned, as the proposed legislation would result in an erosion of the school-based managerial authority of public school principals, which is at the heart of the Education Reform Act of 1993. The Governor believes the bill does not appropriately guard against bargained personnel-related procedures that would result in an abdication of the principals' statutory authority under the 1993 reforms, which were enacted while considering the district-wide needs of Massachusetts school systems and the collective bargaining rights of school employees over the terms and conditions of their employment.
