2023 California Code › Education Code - EDC › TITLE 2 - ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION › DIVISION 3 - LOCAL ADMINISTRATION › PART 25 - EMPLOYEES › CHAPTER 3 - Certificated Employees › ARTICLE 9 - Exchange and Recruitment › Section 44611.

44611. The purposes of this article are to encourage and promote the temporary exchange of teachers between school districts in California and schools in foreign countries and to make available to California schools as teachers foreign-born persons and others who are especially qualified to provide instruction in one or more modern world languages in order that the schools of this state may comply with the requirement of the state law that world language instruction be given to pupils in grades 6, 7, and 8 as of July 1, 1965. It is the finding of the Legislature that California teachers will become more fluent in a world language and more knowledgeable about peoples of other countries and their environment by teaching service in a country where that language is used in daily life, and that it will be of substantial benefit to California pupils beginning the study of a world language to be instructed by teachers who are fluent in the language and conversant with the attendant culture and are therefore able to instill and reinforce the appropriate speech habits early in the learning experience of the pupil. It is the purpose of the Legislature to encourage and enable California schools to benefit from the language abilities of citizens of foreign countries who are now or in the future may be residents of this state.

44614. The exchange of teachers with a foreign country under the provisions of this article shall be conditioned upon the fact that the employing school district in California shall not be required to pay the salary of the teacher from the foreign country. Teachers employed by California school districts shall, while serving as teachers in a foreign country pursuant to this article, continue to receive from their employing school districts the full amounts of the regular salaries which would be payable to them if they were serving in the schools of the particular employing districts, and the district shall make all deductions provided by law for retirement purposes during such period.
The Department of Education may pay to the teachers from a foreign country employed by a school district in California under this article, part or all of the difference between the salary being paid them by their respective foreign employers and the salary being paid by the California school district to the particular teachers with whom they are exchanged, as the department shall determine to be appropriate in each instance; except that no such payment to a foreign teacher shall exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000) in one school year nor shall such payments be made to more than 500 teachers from foreign countries in any one fiscal year.
The Department of Education may pay the travel expenses of teachers in the exchange program but such payments shall not be made to more than 500 California teachers and 500 teachers from foreign countries in any one fiscal year. Such payments shall be for the actual expense involved in travel to and from the exchange assignments or for one thousand dollars ($1,000), whichever is the lesser amount.
The Commission for Teacher Preparation and Licensing shall establish minimum standards for credentials for such exchange teachers from a foreign country and shall provide for the issuance of such credentials to such teachers.

The commission shall prescribe the minimum standards for these special credentials and shall provide for the renewal of these credentials. In issuing the credentials to any applicant, the commission shall take into consideration fluency in the language to be taught, academic preparation, previous teaching experience, a knowledge of modern methods of world language instruction, and a knowledge of peoples of other countries and their environment. The commission shall adopt rules and regulations that require the holder of a special credential issued under this section to undertake, within a reasonable time, a course of study that will enable the holder to become eligible for a standard teaching credential.

44645. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the use of anabolic steroids to expedite the physical development and enhance the performance level of secondary school athletes presents a serious health hazard to these pupil athletes.
Therefore it is the intent of the Legislature to encourage county offices of education and school districts that offer in-service training to credentialed staff who provide health education, physical education, or science education to pupils to include, where appropriate, within the in-service training for any one of those subjects new developments in the scientific understanding of anabolic steroids as well as new education techniques directed at preventing the use of anabolic steroids.
(b) It is also the intent of the Legislature that:
(1) Participation in the training be voluntary on the part of the credentialed staff.
(2) To the extent possible, training be provided to a team of educators.
(3) The training be provided by persons with expertise on the effects of anabolic steroids.
(c) It is further the intent of the Legislature that State Department of Education develop guidelines for the provision of in-service training relating to the use of anabolic steroids. In developing and providing the in-service training, county offices of education and school districts are encouraged to cooperate and collaborate with the State Department of Education.

The system shall involve the development and adoption by each school district of objective evaluation and assessment guidelines which may, at the discretion of the governing board, be uniform throughout the district or, for compelling reasons, be individually developed for territories or schools within the district, provided that all certificated personnel of the district shall be subject to a system of evaluation and assessment adopted pursuant to this article.
This article does not apply to certificated personnel who are employed on an hourly basis in adult education classes.
