Bill > HB2382

This bill requires school district superintendents to obtain approval from their governing board before taking on any secondary employment, meaning any job outside of their superintendent role. This approval must be granted through a public meeting vote. Additionally, superintendents must possess a valid fingerprint clearance card. If a superintendent engages in secondary employment without this approval, they could face a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per month, which they are personally responsible for paying, and it would be considered an act of unprofessional conduct that could lead to a prohibition from reapplying for certification for up to three years. The bill also clarifies existing rules regarding conflicts of interest for public officials and employees, specifically stating that school districts cannot employ a superintendent who has secondary employment without prior board approval. These changes apply to employment contracts executed, amended, or renewed after the bill's effective date.
