The proposed bill amends several sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to enhance the Superintendent Pay Transparency Act. Key changes include the replacement of the term "salaries" with "compensation" in various sections, emphasizing that the compensation for superintendents and educational service unit administrators must comply with the Superintendent Pay Transparency Act. Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that limits the compensation for superintendents and administrators to no more than five times the compensation of a beginning teacher in the same district or educational service unit for the contract year.

Furthermore, the bill outlines specific definitions related to compensation, including what constitutes benefits and salary, and mandates that any contract exceeding the established compensation limit will be deemed invalid. It also requires school boards to publish proposed contracts and amendments, including the maximum total compensation allowed, at least three days prior to consideration. This transparency aims to ensure accountability in the compensation of educational leaders and to provide the public with access to relevant financial information regarding school district expenditures.
