   An act to add Section 87483.7 to the Education Code, relating to
community colleges.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 114, as amended, Yee. Community colleges: academic salary
schedules.
   Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under
the administration of the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary
education in this state. Existing law establishes community college
districts, administered by district governing boards, throughout the
state, and authorizes  these   community college
 districts to employ faculty members to provide instruction to
students at the community college campuses maintained by the 
community college  districts.  Existing law also authorizes
the governing board of a   community college district to
employ both full-time and part-time employees and establish
regulations allowing academic employees to reduce their workload from
full-time to part-time duties, as specified.  
   Existing law requires community college districts with less than
75% of their hours of credit instruction taught by full-time
instructors to apply a portion of their program improvement
allocation, as provided, to reaching the 75% standard. 

   This bill would authorize community college districts to present
the compensation of part-time community college faculty using a
salary schedule that compares part-time faculty salaries to salaries
of full-time faculty with similar academic preparation and years of
experience. The bill would authorize part-time faculty to be placed
on a salary schedule that mirrors the same relationship to the
placement of full-time faculty on the schedule. The 
    This  bill would authorize a community college district
to calculate the salary of a part-time faculty member and report it,
as specified. The bill would also prohibit its provisions from
affecting the implementation of specified collective bargaining
agreements  ,  and would authorize its provisions to be
subjects of negotiation for new or successor collective bargaining
agreements.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
