Education Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•Retired school workers can get hired again by a school, but only if they follow special rules.
•These rules are the same as the ones in a different part of the law (Article 5).
•This rule only works for schools that use the 'merit system' (a way to hire and promote people fairly).

Example

A retired school janitor wants to work part-time at the same school.

The school can hire them again, but they have to follow the rules in Article 5 of the Government Code. If the school doesn’t use the merit system, this rule doesn’t apply.
