AB 2558, as introduced, Williams. Community colleges: faculty and staff development.
Existing law establishes the Community College Faculty and Staff Development Fund, to be administered by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, for purposes of providing state general funds to community colleges for supporting locally developed and implemented faculty and staff development programs. Existing law requires the board of governors to annually allocate funds appropriated for these purposes to each community college district whose chief executive officer has submitted to the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges an affidavit that includes specified information. Existing law limits the allocation a community college district can receive from the Community College Faculty and Staff Development Fund to a maximum of 2% of the community college district’s fiscal year revenues for the prior fiscal year.
This bill would eliminate the Community College Faculty and Staff Development Fund and instead establish the Community College Professional Development Program. The bill would require any available funding to be allocated, in accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the board of governors, to community college districts that provide professional development opportunities for both faculty and staff. The bill would require community college districts receiving this funding to include the employee’s time used participating in the Community College Professional Development Program in the employee’s contractually obligated hours. The bill would also make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
