The bill proposes the establishment of a maximum salary for school administrators in South Dakota. It stipulates that a school district cannot pay an individual employed as an administrator more than three times the average teacher salary within that district. This average salary is to be calculated according to existing provisions in the law.
This new regulation aims to ensure that administrative salaries remain in line with teacher compensation, promoting equity within school districts. By capping administrator salaries, the bill seeks to allocate resources more effectively within the education system, potentially benefiting teacher salaries and funding for student programs.
