2005 California Education Code Sections 44760-44763 CHAPTER 3.5. TEACHER INCENTIVE PROGRAM OF 1990

44760.  This chapter shall be known, and may be cited, as the
"Teacher Incentive Program of 1990."
44761.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares that various state
and local agencies maintain data that is useful for determining the
availability of teachers and other education professionals for
service in elementary and secondary schools.  The Legislature also
finds that at the state level the available data has not been fully
integrated and provided to a central reporting system capable of
producing periodic reports of the supply and demand of teachers.
   The Legislature further finds and declares that the educational
resources of the state could be managed most effectively if data
related to known or anticipated shortages of educational personnel
were available on a timely basis.
44762.  The Commission on Teacher Credentialing, in cooperation with
the State Department of Education, shall establish and maintain a
comprehensive teacher supply and demand reporting system.
Notwithstanding Section 22221, the Teachers' Retirement Board shall
make information requested by the Commission on Teacher
Credentialing available to the commission.  The reporting system
shall be designed to prepare annual reports on the availability of
teachers and other certificated personnel according to the types of
credentials and by geographic regions within the state.  To the
extent possible, the reporting system shall include data currently
being collected and reported by state and local agencies.
44763.  (a) Notwithstanding Title 1.8 (commencing with Section 1798)
of Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code or any other provision of
law, each state and local government agency shall provide to the
Commission on Teacher Credentialing personal information regarding
teachers and other certificated personnel as requested by the
commission for the purposes of Section 44762.
   (b) In accordance with the purpose of safeguarding the privacy
rights of individuals, it is the intent of the Legislature that
personal information be collected, maintained, and disseminated under
this chapter only to the extent required to accomplish the purposes
of Section 44762.  The Commission on Teacher Credentialing shall
establish and maintain specific and appropriate policies and
practices that protect the privacy rights of individuals as to whom
personal information has been received by the commission, and to
otherwise implement the legislative intent set forth in this
subdivision.
