What’s in it
AI summary This bill changes how school districts define the money they spend on administration rather than teaching students. It clarifies that administrative costs include things like office staff salaries, general management, and data processing. The state board of education will create the specific rules for how to follow this new definition.1
Read the official explanation
45 provides that administrative expenditures, defined as expenditures for executive administration, as a percent of a school district’s general fund for a base year shall not exceed percent and directs school boards to certify such amounts to the department of education annually. This bill changes the definition of “administrative expenditures” to mean school district purposes or activities that do not directly relate to student instruction or to the activity of students, but instead support the program delivery and development activities including but not limited to salaries for administrators and office staff, school administration, general administration, and data processing and collection services. The bill requires the state board of education to adopt rules for the interpretation and proper administration of the bill. The bill applies July 1, 2024, for school budget years beginning on or after that date.
Changed since by amendment S-3079; see Amendments.
