Prohibits employment of a trustee's or charter school director's spouse in school districts with fall student enrollment greater than 1,200 in the prior school year.

Allows spouse employment in nonadministrative positions in districts with 1,200 or fewer students if the position was posted for at least 60 days (or 15 days if opened mid-year), no qualified applicants were received, and the trustee/director abstained from voting and was absent during consideration.

Requires the trustee or director to abstain from voting and be absent from meetings on all matters affecting the employed spouse's compensation, benefits, performance evaluation, or disciplinary action.

Mandates that spouses employed as certificated employees must be hired under a category 1 limited contract with no further notice required to terminate at the end of the contract year.

Applies the same employment restrictions and procedures to public charter schools based on the enrollment of the school district within which they are physically located.
