This bill proposes updates to current statutes regarding the employment benefits of superintendents in school districts. Under the new provisions, a school district may only offer employment benefits, such as life insurance, vehicle allowances, and retirement contributions, to a superintendent if these benefits are also provided on substantially equal terms to all district employees. Additionally, if a superintendent receives a vehicle allowance, they will not be eligible for mileage reimbursement for travel. The bill also clarifies that superintendents may only use school district-owned vehicles for transporting students or materials and allows them to carpool in such vehicles.

The bill makes several technical changes to existing language, including the removal of outdated terms and the clarification of contract negotiation timelines for superintendents and principals. It specifies that the governing board must communicate the duties of superintendents and principals regarding the classroom site fund and establishes a framework for performance evaluations of school administrators. Overall, the bill aims to ensure equitable treatment of all school district employees while maintaining clear guidelines for the employment and benefits of superintendents.
