The bill amends K.S.A. 72-2218 to prohibit school employment contracts from excluding documentation of disciplinary actions or behavioral corrective actions taken against employees. This change ensures that any disciplinary records, including initial warnings and oral admonitions, must be included in an employee's personnel file. The bill also repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 72-2218, thereby updating the legal framework governing school employment contracts in Kansas.

In addition to the prohibition on excluding disciplinary documentation, the bill clarifies various definitions related to school employment, such as "professional employee," "administrative employee," and "terms and conditions of professional service." It emphasizes that professional negotiation processes must include discussions about these terms, while also ensuring that the rights and obligations of both professional employees and boards of education are maintained. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
