§ 87421 Temporary Academic Employment

Key Takeaways

  • •Schools can hire teachers for short-term jobs, like for a few months, if the school or class is temporary.
  • •This rule is only for academic jobs, like teachers or professors, not for other school staff.
  • •The law does not stop schools from doing this, even if other rules say jobs should be for a full school year.

Example

A school opens a special summer class for two months to help kids catch up on math.

The school can hire a math teacher just for those two months, even if the usual rule says teachers should be hired for the whole school year.
