This bill amends the existing law regarding the mandatory report to voters prior to school district budget meetings. Key changes include the requirement for the report to be posted in at least three locations, with two being public places and one potentially being the local newspaper or the district's website if available. The language has been updated to replace "must" with "shall" for clarity, and the report must now be posted at least seven days before the first budget hearing. Additionally, the report will now include one graph with three financial indicators instead of three separate line graphs, and the dimensions for the posted report have been adjusted to 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches tall.

Furthermore, the bill specifies the content of the graphs and table included in the report. The first two indicators will display the average cost per pupil and average teacher salary over the previous ten years, while the third indicator will show the average administrator salary. The table will list the titles and current salaries of the ten highest-paid administrators, expanding from the previous requirement of four. The bill also introduces a new section that mandates the inclusion of specific information in the annual warrant related to adopting a school budget. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
