Summary

The bill changes the Education Code so that teachers, administrators, and other certificated employees become permanent after meeting the same service requirements in any district, even those with fewer than 250 students. It also tightens qualifications for peer‑assistance and consulting teachers and revises dismissal and probationary‑employee procedures. The measure was vetoed by the governor.
