Classified employees took two giant steps forward in Sacramento
during 2016 after the CFT shepherded four bills through the state
Legislature that address staff priorities. Gov. Jerry Brown
signed two of the bills.
AB 2122 appropriates $20 million over five years to
encourage classified employees to return to school and become
teachers. Grants from the California Classified School
Employee Teacher Credentialing Program to districts and
county offices of education will provide up to $4,000 annually to
staff seeking a bachelor’s degree and credential.
