Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Except as provided in subdivisions (d)
					 and (e), the faculty members elected to serve as president and vice president
					 of the Academic Senate of the California Community Colleges (ASCCC) shall be
					 granted release or reassigned time from their local responsibilities by the
					 districts by which they are employed during their terms of office.
(b) The amount of release or reassigned time
					 required will be determined by the ASCCC and reported to the district employing
					 the person elected ASCCC president by May 1st and to the district employing the
					 person elected ASCC vice president by June 1st of the year in which these
					 individuals will assume office, unless the election has not been conducted by
					 those dates, in which case the information will be reported immediately upon
					 completion of the election.
(c) The
					 districts employing the president and the vice president of the ASCCC will be
					 reimbursed by February 1 from the state appropriation for the ASCCC for the
					 release or reassigned time at the part-time replacement cost identified by the
					 district prior to September of each year. If the release or reassigned time
					 need identified is 100 percent and the position to be filled is in a hard to
					 replace discipline area, the district shall so certify to the Chancellor of the
					 California Community Colleges by August 1. If the Chancellor confirms the
					 district certification, the district shall be reimbursed at the full-time
					 temporary replacement cost. In addition, districts shall be reimbursed by the
					 ASCCC for reasonable and documented administrative costs associated with hiring
					 faculty to replace the faculty serving as president and vice president of the
					 ASCCC.
(d) A local district will
					 not be required to grant release or reassigned time for the president or vice
					 president of the ASCCC if it certifies by August 1 to the Chancellor, and he or
					 she confirms, that the faculty member is in a position for which a qualified
					 part-time or full-time temporary replacement cannot be found to meet the needs
					 of the students.
(e) No district
					 shall be required to grant release or reassigned time for an individual serving
					 as president or vice president of the ASCCC for a period exceeding four
					 years.
(f) This section shall only
					 be operative during any fiscal year in which sufficient funds are provided
					 therefore to the ASCCC in the annual Budget Act for that fiscal year or other
					 legislation.
