Summary
The board unanimously approved a resolution under Government Code 7522.56 allowing the district to hire a retiree before the 180-day waiting period to perform specialized work while a permanent employee is on leave.
The Visalia Unified School District Board of Education voted 6-0 to approve a resolution requesting an exception to the 180-day wait period under Government Code 7522.56, allowing the district to hire a retiree before the statutory waiting period ends.
Judy Burgess, Administrator of Human Services Development, presented the resolution and said the waiver allows the district to appoint a retiree “to perform such duties while a permanent employee is on leave of absence.” Burgess said the waiver is for highly specialized work necessary to ensure district operations.
The board approved the resolution following a motion by Board Member Odo and a second by Board Member DeYoung. No amendments or dissent were recorded.
