Bill > SB161

This bill proposes to establish a salary cap for school administrators in South Dakota, limiting their compensation to no more than three times the average teacher salary within their school district. Specifically, the bill adds a new section to existing law that restricts administrative compensation, referencing the definition of an administrator from § 13-42-1 and using the average teacher salary calculation method outlined in § 13-13-73.6. By implementing this maximum salary threshold, the bill aims to control administrative compensation and potentially redirect educational funding more directly to classroom resources and teacher salaries. The provision would apply to all school district administrators, effectively creating a standardized compensation structure that ties administrative pay directly to the average teacher salary in each specific school district.
