What’s in it

AI summary School boards and administrators must include a specific rule in their employment contracts regarding severance pay. If an administrator is found liable in most legal or administrative cases, they will no longer be eligible to receive those payments. This rule does not apply to simple misdemeanors or parking tickets.1

Read the official explanation

This bill provides that if an employment contract between a school board and an administrator provides for one or more severance payments, the contract shall contain a statement that the administrator shall not receive such payments if the contract is terminated as a result of the administrator being found liable in a criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding for which the period for appeal has passed, other than a proceeding regarding a simple misdemeanor or a parking violation. The bill applies to contracts entered into or continued on or after the effective date of the bill.
