Reorganized regulation also includes new language re: contents of the claim, formerly in E(1), and deletes language, no longer required by law, which specified that the district must provide a claim form. Unnecessary Exhibits deleted.
BP/AR 3515.2 – Disruptions
Policy updated to reflect NEW LAW (AB 1390) which requires the principal to inform law enforcement when anyone possesses a firearm or explosive or sells or furnishes a firearm on school grounds, and NEW LAW (AB 870) which prohibits razor blades and box cutters on school grounds or at school activities. Regulation reorganized and expanded to clarify the circumstances under which the principal or designee may direct persons to leave school grounds and to reflect NEW LAW (SB 492) which makes it a misdemeanor for anyone to loiter around a school and enhances penalties for specified loiterers.
BP 4030 – Nondiscrimination in Employment
Policy updated to reflect NEW FEDERAL LAW (P.L. 110-233) which prohibits employers from discriminating against employees and job applicants on the basis of "genetic information," as defined. Policy also contains new note reflecting new EEOC GUIDANCE re: religious discrimination in the workplace. Unnecessary regulation deleted. Material formerly in AR re: filing of complaints, trainings, and notification moved into BP. Material re: other remedies moved to AR 4031 - Complaints Concerning Discrimination in Employment.
AR 4031 – Complaints Concerning Discrimination in Employment
Regulation substantially updated and reorganized to reflect the elements of the complaint process recommended by EEOC GUIDANCE, including providing a clear explanation of the process, protecting against retaliation, designating multiple individuals authorized to receive complaints, providing a mechanism for a prompt and impartial investigation, and providing information about timelines for filing federal or state charges.
AR 4117.11, 4317.11 – Preretirement Part-Time Employment
New Law SB 634 – which clarifies certain requirements under which employees who reduce their workloads may maintain the retirement and health and welfare benefits they would have received if employed full time, including requirements pertaining to the number of years of prior full-time service and to absences that constitute a break in service.
AR 4154, 4254, 4354 – Health and Welfare Benefits
Updated regulation (section on "Temporary Subsidized Premium for COBRA/Cal-COBRA") reflects NEW FEDERAL LAW (P.L. 111-144) which extends eligibility for the subsidized COBRA/Cal-COBRA premium to include employees (1) who were involuntarily terminated (other than by reason of gross misconduct) between September 1, 2008, and March 31, 2010, or (2) whose COBRA eligibility was caused by a reduction in hours and who subsequently experienced an involuntary termination between March 2, 2010, and March 31, 2010.
