§ 10403 Experimental Program Exemption

This law says it does NOT change any rules about special math or reading programs and it does NOT let schools hire outside companies for jobs that have to be done by regular school staff.

Key Takeaways

  • •It does not change any existing laws about experimental math or reading programs.
  • •Schools and community colleges cannot outsource jobs that must be done by classified school employees.
  • •The rule applies to any contracts the district might try to make for those required services.

Example

A school district wants to hire a private company to run a reading program that the McAteer Act says should be done by its own classified employees.

Because of this law, the district cannot contract the work out; the reading program must be run by the school’s own classified staff, just like the original rules say.
