SECTION 44610-44617



44610.  This article shall be known as the "Foreign Language Teacher
Exchange and Recruitment Law of 1963."



44611.  The purposes of this article are to encourage and promote
the temporary exchange of teachers between school districts in
California and schools in foreign countries and to make available to
California schools as teachers foreign-born persons and others who
are especially qualified to provide instruction in one or more modern
foreign languages in order that the schools of this state may comply
with the requirement of the state law that foreign language
instruction be given to pupils in grades six, seven, and eight as of
July 1, 1965. It is the finding of the Legislature that California
teachers will become more fluent in a foreign language and more
knowledgeable about peoples of other countries and their environment
by teaching service in a country where that language is used in daily
life, and that it will be of substantial benefit to California
pupils beginning the study of a foreign language to be instructed by
teachers who are fluent in the language and conversant with the
attendant culture and are therefore able to instill and reinforce the
appropriate speech habits early in the learning experience of the
pupil. It is the purpose of the Legislature to encourage and enable
California schools to benefit from the language abilities of citizens
of foreign countries who are now or in the future may be residents
of this state.


44612.  The State Board of Education shall adopt rules and
regulations under which teachers employed by California school
districts may exchange positions with teachers in schools in other
countries for a period of one year or less. The arrangements for such
exchanges shall be made through the Department of Education and in
cooperation with the teacher exchange programs administered by
agencies of the federal government. The first such exchanges shall
take place during the 1964-1965 school year.
   Grants from the federal government or any department or agency
thereof may be accepted by the state and its agencies to be expended
pursuant to the programs and plans enumerated in this article. The
Department of Education shall administer the teacher exchange program
provided for in this article and shall do all acts necessary to
carry out the purposes of this article.


44613.  Teachers employed by California school districts desiring to
participate in an exchange of positions under this article shall
file with the Department of Education an application setting forth a
plan of study to be completed during the year of service in a foreign
country and shall agree to teach in a California school district for
a minimum of two years following the year of exchange service.




44614.  The exchange of teachers with a foreign country under the
provisions of this article shall be conditioned upon the fact that
the employing school district in California shall not be required to
pay the salary of the teacher from the foreign country. Teachers
employed by California school districts shall, while serving as
teachers in a foreign country pursuant to this article, continue to
receive from their employing school districts the full amounts of the
regular salaries which would be payable to them if they were serving
in the schools of the particular employing districts, and the
district shall make all deductions provided by law for retirement
purposes during such period.
   The Department of Education may pay to the teachers from a foreign
country employed by a school district in California under this
article, part or all of the difference between the salary being paid
them by their respective foreign employers and the salary being paid
by the California school district to the particular teachers with
whom they are exchanged, as the department shall determine to be
appropriate in each instance; except that no such payment to a
foreign teacher shall exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000) in one
school year nor shall such payments be made to more than 500 teachers
from foreign countries in any one fiscal year.
   The Department of Education may pay the travel expenses of
teachers in the exchange program but such payments shall not be made
to more than 500 California teachers and 500 teachers from foreign
countries in any one fiscal year. Such payments shall be for the
actual expense involved in travel to and from the exchange
assignments or for one thousand dollars ($1,000), whichever is the
lesser amount.
   The Commission for Teacher Preparation and Licensing shall
establish minimum standards for credentials for such exchange
teachers from a foreign country and shall provide for the issuance of
such credentials to such teachers.



44615.  The Commission for Teacher Preparation and Licensing shall
adopt rules and regulations providing for the recruitment of, and
issuance of special credentials in the teaching of a foreign language
to foreign-born persons or others having native fluency in a modern
foreign language to teach foreign languages in the public schools of
California. The issuance of special credentials in the teaching of
foreign languages pursuant to this section shall be limited to 500
persons a year. The commission shall prescribe the minimum standards
for such special credentials and shall provide for the renewal of
such credentials. In issuing the credentials to any applicant the
commission shall take into consideration fluency in the language to
be taught, academic preparation, previous teaching experience, a
knowledge of modern methods of foreign language instruction and a
knowledge of peoples of other countries and their environment. The
commission shall adopt rules and regulations which require the holder
of a special credential issued under this section to undertake,
within a reasonable time, a course of study which will enable the
holder to become eligible for a standard teaching credential.




44616.  The Department of Education may contract with universities
and colleges in this state approved by the Commission for Teacher
Preparation and Licensing as a teacher education institution for
furnishing refresher courses in which applicants for a special
credential in the teaching of a foreign language issued under Section
44615 who have not had previous recent teaching experience may
secure instruction in the teaching of a foreign language that will
enable them to meet the standards prescribed by the commission.
   Instruction in the teaching of foreign languages pursuant to the
provisions of this section shall be limited to 500 persons a year.
   The Department of Education may pay to each person enrolled in
such a refresher course a stipend of seventy-five dollars ($75) a
week for a total of six weeks or a stipend paid in some other manner
but the total amount paid to an individual shall not exceed four
hundred fifty dollars ($450).


44617.  Section 44854 applies to exchange teachers.
