This 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. The bill emphasizes that such documentation, including initial warnings and oral admonitions, must be included in an employee's personnel file. Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 72-2218, thereby updating the legal framework governing school employment contracts in Kansas.
The amendments also clarify definitions related to professional employees, administrative employees, and the terms and conditions of professional service. Notably, the bill removes certain phrases and clarifies the language to ensure 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, reinforcing the importance of transparency in employee disciplinary records within the educational system.
