[ Approved by  Governor  September 30, 2022.  Filed with  Secretary of State  September 30, 2022. ] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 2038, Gipson. School finance: administrative employees to teacher ratio. Existing law sets forth the maximum ratios of administrative employees to each 100 teachers in the various types of school districts. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to determine, for each current fiscal year, for each school district in the state, the total number of administrative employees except as provided, the total number of teachers except those serving in positions that are supported by federal funds or by categorical grants from any source and are in programs that require specific teacher/administrator ratios, the total maximum number of administrative employees that should be employed by the school district based upon the application of the appropriate ratio prescribed by law, and the number of administrative employees in excess of the number allowable without penalty, as provided. Existing law, for purposes of determining the allowable ratio of administrative employees to teachers for the San Diego City School District, excludes from the numbers identified pursuant to the above provisions the number of employees and the full-time equivalent of all of the fractional time of employees serving the school district in positions mandated as the result of the school districts court-ordered integration plan.This bill would extend the exclusion described above to the Los Angeles Unified School District. The bill also would, for purposes of calculating the administrative employee-to-teacher ratio in the 202223 to 202425 fiscal years, inclusive, authorize the Los Angeles Unified School District to include in the definition of teacher, when calculating the ratio of administrative employees to teachers in the 202223 to 202425 fiscal years, inclusive, teachers who spend a majority of their time with pupils as intervention specialists or teachers who spend a majority of their time on a school campus providing training, coaching, or professional development to other teachers, or both of those. The bill would require the Los Angeles Unified School District to submit various reports related to the administrative employee-to-teacher ratio to the Superintendent, the Department of Finance, and the budget committees of both houses of the Legislature, as specified. By imposing additional reporting requirements on the Los Angeles Unified School District, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill also would make conforming and nonsubstantive changes.This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Los Angeles Unified School District.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY  Appropriation: NO  Fiscal Committee: YES  Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
