State Legislation &
Budget Resources.
Sponsored Bills.
The California County Superintendents may choose to sponsor or co-sponsor legislation. The time and effort involved in sponsoring legislation inherently limits sponsorship to those issues of highest priority to the association.
AB 2490 (Valencia) improves classroom stability during teacher leaves or vacancies by allowing substitute teachers to serve in a single classroom for up to 60 days. Local educational agencies have been making every effort to recruit and retain teachers, particularly following the pandemic. Unfortunately, the educator workforce shortage has only grown, increasing the need for substitute teachers. Current law limits substitute teachers to serving just 30 days in a general education classroom and 20 days in a special education classroom. This bill addresses the disruptive practice of replacing substitute teachers to improve student learning in the absence of a permanent teacher.
