California AB378 establishes the Classified School Employee Summer Assistance Program, offering state match funds to participating classified.

AB378 amends the Education Code to establish the Classified School Employee Summer Assistance Program. This program allows classified employees to have a portion of their monthly paychecks withheld during the school year and paid out during the summer recess period. Local educational agencies can elect to participate, and employees must notify their agency by March 1. The state matches the withheld funds, which are not considered compensation for retirement benefits. Employees can withdraw from the program by notifying their agency within 30 days of the start of the next school year.
