When an assault is committed against a school employee
engaged in the performance of his or her duties, or in retaliation
for an act performed in the course of his or her duties, whether on
or off campus, during the schoolday or at any other time, and the
person committing the offense knows or reasonably should know the
victim is a school employee, the assault is punishable by
imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by a fine
not exceeding two thousand dollars ($2,000), or by both the fine and
imprisonment.
   For purposes of this section, "school employee" has the same
meaning as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 245.5.
   This section shall not apply to conduct arising during the course
of an otherwise lawful labor dispute.
