Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 5, § 55264 - Correspondence Education Faculty Selection and Workload

(a) Instructors of course sections delivered via correspondence education shall be selected by the same procedures used to determine all instructional assignments. Instructors shall possess the minimum qualifications for the discipline into which the course's subject matter most appropriately falls, in accordance with article 2 (commencing with section 53410 ) of subchapter 4 of chapter 4, and with the list of discipline definitions and requirements adopted by the Board of Governors to implement that article, as such list may be amended from time to time.

(b) Instructors of correspondence education shall be prepared to teach in a correspondence education delivery method consistent with local district policies and negotiated agreements.

(c) The number of students assigned to any one course section offered by correspondence education shall be determined by and be consistent with other district procedures related to faculty assignment. Procedures for determining the number of students assigned to a course section offered in whole or in part by correspondence education may include a review by the curriculum committee established pursuant to section 55002(a)(1). When calculating the number of correspondence students, a student is considered "enrolled in correspondence courses" if correspondence courses constitute 50 percent or more of the courses in which the student is enrolled during an award year.

(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to impinge upon or detract from any negotiations or negotiated agreements between exclusive representatives and district governing boards.
