Bill > HB3461

This bill, effective November 1, 2026, amends existing law to prohibit school districts from using State Aid funds, which are funds provided by the state to support public education, to pay for certain expenses related to superintendents and other central office administrators, such as severance payments, contract buyouts, or termination settlements. These specific types of payments are now defined as "administrative expenditures" and must be funded solely with local revenue, meaning money raised by the school district itself through local taxes and other sources, rather than state funding. The bill also clarifies the definition of "administrator" to include superintendents, assistant superintendents, principals, and assistant principals who supervise teachers, and expands the definition of "administrative expenditures" to encompass a broader range of costs associated with central office administration and executive management.
