Specific Requirements
The total number of teacher misassignments, including misassignments of teachers of English learners, and the total number of vacant teacher positions, 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 the school’s 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.
For the two most recent years and for the current school year, if available, the total number of the school’s vacant teacher positions (the number of positions to which a single designated certificated employee has not been assigned at the beginning of the year for an entire year or, if the position is for a one-semester course, a position to which a single designated certificated employee has not been assigned at the beginning of a semester for an entire semester).
Beginning of the year or semester means the first day classes necessary to serve all the students enrolled are established with a single designated certificated employee assigned for the duration of the class, but not later than 20 working days after the first day students attend classes for that semester.
