Overview of AB 2534
Assembly Bill (AB) 2534 is a California law that strengthens compliance with educational policies related to employment procedures and educator evaluations. It ensures that school districts uphold transparency and accountability in hiring, evaluations, and personnel processes.

This law applies to school administrators, teachers, and other certificated staff and requires specific reporting, documentation, and procedural adherence to state-mandated regulations.

At Mountain View School District (MVSD), we are committed to implementing the necessary policies and procedures to ensure full compliance with AB 2534.

Employment History & Hiring Requirements
Effective January 1, 2025, and in accordance with Education Code section 44939.5  (amended by California AB2534), all applicants for certificated positions at MVSD are legally required to provide a complete and accurate record of all prior employment with:

•     Local Education Agencies (LEAs)
•     School Districts
•     County Offices of Education
•     Charter Schools
•     State Special Schools
•     Other educational institutions, regardless of the length of service

As part of the hiring process, MVSD will verify employment history, including obtaining information from previous employers regarding credible allegations, investigations, or disciplinary actions related to egregious misconduct, as defined by Education Code Section 44932.

This requirement ensures that all prospective certificated employees meet state-mandated transparency and accountability standards in the hiring process.
