Bill Summary
Amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), entitled "An act relating to the public school system, including certain provisions applicable as well to private and parochial schools; amending, revising, consolidating and changing the laws relating thereto," in duties and powers of boards of school directors, providing for posting of offers of employment for certain administrators; and, in intermediate units, providing for posting of offers of employment for certain staff.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require increased transparency in hiring high-level administrative positions in Pennsylvania school districts and intermediate units. Specifically, when a school board or intermediate unit board plans to hire a district superintendent, assistant superintendent, associate superintendent, principal, executive director, or assistant executive director, they must post the job offer details on their public website at least two weeks before officially approving the contract. The required posting must include comprehensive information about the offer, such as the proposed salary and contract term. By mandating this public disclosure, the bill aims to provide greater transparency about administrative hiring processes and compensation in educational institutions. The new requirements will go into effect 60 days after the bill's passage, giving school districts and intermediate units time to implement the new posting procedures.
