Teacher Misassignments

Specific Requirements

The total number of teacher misassignments, including misassignments of teachers of English learners, for the most recent three-year period.

Education Code Section 33126 (b)(5)

Definitions

For the two most recent years and for the current school year, if available, the total number of teacher misassignments, including misassignments of teachers of English learners (the number of placements of a certificated employee in a teaching or services position for which the employee does not hold a legally recognized certificate or credential or the placement of a certificated employee in a teaching or services position that the employee is not otherwise authorized by statute to hold).

The number of misassignments of teachers of English learners is to be reported as both a subtotal and as part of total teacher misassignments.

In addition to misassignments of teachers of English learners, total misassignments to be reported include the assignment of employees to services positions for which the employee does not hold the required certificate, credential, or other statutory authorization. These services areas, for which the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing issues credentials, include Administrative Services, Pupil Personnel Services, Clinical/Rehabilitative Services, Library Media Services, and School Nurse or Other Health Services.
