This bill amends R.S. 17:54(B)(1)(b)(i)(aa) to establish new requirements for the employment and evaluation of local school superintendents in Louisiana. It mandates that superintendents be employed under a written contract that includes specific performance objectives. Notably, the contract must stipulate that at least fifteen percent of the superintendent's performance evaluation is based on evidence of growth in student achievement in literacy and mathematics by the end of the third grade, as determined by the state board.

Additionally, for local public school systems that have received a school performance letter grade of "C," "D," or "F," the contract must set performance targets related to student achievement, graduation rates, and the percentage of teachers rated as "effective" or "highly effective." The bill also requires that the school board notify the superintendent of any termination of employment at least thirty days prior to the contract's end, or alternatively, negotiate a new contract for continued employment.
