This bill amends several sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to enhance the Superintendent Pay Transparency Act and establish limits on compensation for superintendents and educational service unit administrators. Key changes include the replacement of the term "salaries" with "compensation" in various sections, emphasizing that the compensation for superintendents must comply with the Superintendent Pay Transparency Act. Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that prohibits school districts and educational service units from entering into contracts that would result in compensation exceeding five times that of a beginning teacher for the same contract year.

Furthermore, the bill defines terms related to compensation and benefits, ensuring clarity in what constitutes total compensation for superintendents and administrators. It mandates that any proposed contracts or amendments for superintendent services must be published in advance, including details about the maximum total compensation allowed. The bill also stipulates that any contracts violating the compensation limits will be deemed invalid, and any excess compensation must be forfeited and returned to the respective school district or educational service unit. Overall, the bill aims to promote transparency and accountability in the compensation of educational administrators in Nebraska.
