	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 170, Vincent  School employees: termination.
   Existing law permits a school district or county superintendent of
schools to reduce its number of employees, subject to certain
requirements, if its pupil enrollment drops below certain levels, and
requires a school district or county superintendent of schools to
give notice to the employee before the 15th of May that his or her
services will be terminated at the close of the current school year.

   Existing law authorizes a county superintendent of schools in a
county that meets certain population requirements, for the purpose of
making reductions initiated during the 2004-05 school year in the
number of county employees because of a reduction in services or
elimination of a juvenile camp program, to retain the county
employees until the effective date of the closure or reduction in
services of that juvenile camp program.
   This bill would extend that authority to the 2005-06 school year.



THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 1 of Chapter 260 of the Statutes of 2004 is
amended to read:
  Section 1.  For purposes of making reductions initiated during the
2004-05 or 2005-06 school years pursuant to Section 44955 of the
Education Code in the number of employees because of a reduction in
services or elimination of a juvenile camp program, a county
superintendent of schools in a county of the first class may retain
those employees until the effective date of the closure or reduction
in services of that juvenile camp program.
