§ 88163. — 88163. (Amended by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1302, Sec. 197.)

If the governing board of a community college district cannot comply with the provisions of subdivision (a) of Section 88162 because it is engaged in a study, which was commenced prior to the commencement of the school year, to increase the salaries and wages of persons employed by the district in nonacademic positions, the board may, by appropriate action taken prior to the final adoption of its budget, do either of the following:
(a)
Adopt an interim salary schedule which shall be the same schedule as for the preceding year, except that increases may be granted at that time based upon increased cost-of-living indexes, and provide that the salaries and wages fixed as a result of the study shall be payable for the entire school year to include the period thereof in which the study was conducted and final board action taken.
(b)
Provide that the salaries and wages fixed as a result of the study shall be effective only for that portion of the school year, as determined by the board at the time it takes action after the study has been completed. “Portion of the school year,” as used in this subdivision shall not be for any period of time less than the period of time remaining in the school year from the date the governing board adopts the salary schedule based on the study commenced prior to that school year.
