This bill amends Section 279.23 of the Iowa Code to require that any employment contract between a school board and a school administrator that includes severance payments must explicitly state that the administrator will not receive such payments if the contract is terminated due to a guilty finding in a criminal proceeding related to their official duties. This provision excludes cases involving simple misdemeanors or parking violations.

Additionally, the bill specifies that it applies to contracts that are entered into or continued on or after its effective date. This change aims to ensure accountability among school administrators by linking severance payments to their conduct in relation to their official responsibilities.
