This bill defines "building-level administrator" as a school official who supervises other licensed staff. The bill provides schools with direction on contracts for building level administrators including for renewal and nonrenewal notice by February 15th in the year the contract would expire. An administrator whose contract is renewed must accept or reject the contract within 15 business days.
Administrator contracts cannot be nonrenewed without the administrator having at least one evaluation and being provided with written cause. Cause for nonrenewal includes unsatisfactory performance on an annual evaluation, violation of school policy or state law, or conduct detrimental to the operation of the school. An administrator that receives a nonrenewal has specified rights as outlined in the bill including the right to a hearing and an appeal.
