Bill
Summary: This bill requires the principal of each school to
post a "teacher bill of rights" notice that describes certain
teacher rights and protections, as specified, in a common area
of the school's administrative offices and in each classroom.
*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on May 27, 2016
Fiscal
Impact:
Mandate costs: Unknown, potentially significant reimbursable
state mandate costs to the extent the Commission on State
Mandates determined this bill to impose a higher level of
service upon school districts. Costs for each school to
create and post the notice in a common area of the school's
administrative offices could reach the mid hundreds of

thousands. Ongoing costs to maintain compliance would be less
as long as laws referenced in the notice do not change. To
the extent these costs are determined to be reimbursable, it
could create pressure to increase the K-12 mandate block
grant. (Proposition 98)
Cost pressures: Unknown, potentially significant cost
pressures to provide funding for new rights that could be
construed to be established by this bill for the parts of the
notice that conflict with existing law. See staff comments.
Committee
Amendments: Delete the requirement to post the teacher bill of
rights notice in each classroom within every school district in
the state.
