Bill > HB2050

This bill requires school superintendents in certain school districts to reside within the district's boundaries under specific circumstances. If a school district or a school within the district is classified as unaccredited, facing potential loss of accreditation, or experiencing a funding deficit, the superintendent must live within the district's boundaries. This requirement applies to all new superintendent contracts or employment agreements entered into after the bill's effective date. The bill also includes provisions for school districts sharing superintendents, with an incentive program that provides an additional $30,000 in state aid annually to districts that share a superintendent, contingent upon using the funds to compensate teachers or provide counseling services. The shared superintendent funding is limited to a maximum of five years, and if sharing a superintendent, the residency requirement still applies if one of the districts meets the specified conditions. The bill updates several existing sections of Missouri state law related to school district superintendents, making minor language changes and clarifying employment and supervisory responsibilities.
