AI Summary

This bill modifies Arizona law regarding school district superintendent employment contracts by changing the maximum duration of a superintendent's contract from three years to one year for those not yet employed by the district for at least three consecutive years, and maintaining the three-year limit for those who have met that tenure, with specific rules about when contracts can be extended or renegotiated. It also clarifies that the school district governing board or charter school governing body must communicate the superintendent's or principal's duties related to the classroom site fund, and makes other technical adjustments to language concerning contract delivery, acceptance, and non-retention notices for administrators and school psychologists.
