Section § 1760

Explanation

This law says that a county superintendent of schools can, with approval, hire staff to offer guidance services for students in smaller school districts. This applies to elementary districts with fewer than 901 students, high school districts with fewer than 301 students, and unified districts with fewer than 1,501 students, as long as the districts aren't already providing sufficient guidance services.

The county superintendent of schools may, with the approval of the county board of education, employ personnel to provide necessary guidance services to pupils in elementary school districts under his jurisdiction which had less than 901 units of average daily attendance during the preceding fiscal year, in high school districts under his jurisdiction which had less than 301 units of average daily attendance during the preceding fiscal year, and in unified school districts under his jurisdiction which had less than 1,501 units of average daily attendance during the preceding fiscal year; provided, adequate guidance services are not being furnished by the district.

Section § 1761

Explanation

This law says that a county superintendent of schools can make a deal with a school district's governing board to provide guidance services to the district's schools. This agreement needs the approval of the county board of education. The district must pay for these services, and the agreed costs will be moved from the district's funds to the county school service fund.

The county superintendent of schools may, with the approval of the county board of education, enter into an agreement with the governing board of any district for the provision of guidance services in the district by the county superintendent of schools. The agreement shall provide for the payment by the district of the cost of providing the guidance services. The county superintendent of schools shall transfer from the funds of the district to the county school service fund the amounts set forth in the agreement.

Section § 1762

Explanation

This law states that anyone performing certain services must have a valid teaching credential from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing in order to do so legally.

The services described in Sections 1760 and 1761 shall be performed by persons who hold a valid credential issued by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing authorizing performance of the services.
