What’s in it
AI summary School boards would no longer have the superintendent serve as their executive officer, and instead, they must elect a different person for that role every year. Additionally, if a person living in a school district or an employee there thinks money is being spent incorrectly, they can ask the county auditor to perform a financial audit.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to school districts, including by modifying provisions related to the executive officers of the boards of directors of school districts and authorizing residents and employees to request audits of school districts. Current law provides that the superintendent of a school district is the executive officer of the board of directors of the school district. The bill strikes this provision. The bill requires the board of directors of a school district to annually elect a chief executive officer of the board who shall not be the superintendent. The bill provides that if a resident or employee of a school district reasonably believes that the school district is improperly spending school district moneys, the resident or employee may report the improper spending to the county auditor of the county in which the school district’s central administrative office is located and request that the county auditor audit the school district’s financial condition and transactions.
