The bill amends the Revised School Code by adding Section 1246a, which establishes salary limitations for school district and intermediate school district administrators, including superintendents, principals, and other school administrators. According to the new provision, these individuals cannot be employed or contracted at a salary exceeding the greater of either four times the starting salary of a teacher or three times the average salary of a teacher within the same district.
However, there is an exception for existing employment contracts. If a contract that provides a salary exceeding these limits is already in effect on the bill's effective date, the salary restrictions will not apply to that individual until the contract expires. This provision aims to ensure fiscal responsibility in school district administration while allowing for the continuation of existing agreements.
