Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 87458 to the contrary, the governing board of any community college district shall, with respect to each person who is employed in an administrative or supervisory position requiring certification qualifications under a contract of employment providing a four-year term of employment and who either has not been previously employed by the district in such position or has been employed in such position but not under such a four-year contract, determine prior to May 15 of the third year under such four-year contract of employment whether to grant or deny the person regular classification as a classroom instructor. If the board grants the classification, the person shall be classified as and become a regular employee as a classroom instructor. This section shall only apply to persons whose first day of paid service in the district without a break in service precedes July 1, 1990.
