In today’s competitive hiring market, the shortage of qualified teachers continues to pose significant legal and operational challenges for charter schools. Additionally, since the launch of CalSAAS and the passage of AB 1505, ensuring compliance with relevant credentialing laws and regulations requires greater diligence than ever before. This webinar will examine the legal framework surrounding teacher assignments and will offer practical guidance for administrators, human resource professionals, and other recruiting/hiring professionals who are tasked with navigating these complex issues. We will explore key considerations and best practices for assigning teachers in accordance with their credentials and will address the alphabet soup of options that can sometimes save the day in a bind, including local assignment options, STSP, PIPs, TCCs, and waivers.

Key topics to be covered include:

  • Understanding the laws governing teacher qualifications and assignments.
  • Options for assigning teachers out-of-field or on emergency permits.
  • Options for handling unique courses like independent study and online courses.
  • Liability issues and risk management strategies when faced with a lack of qualified teachers for a position.
