Summary

Primary Sponsor: Danny CrawfordRepresentative
Republican
Session: Regular Session 2017
Title: County Superintendent of Education, prohibition against additional employment removed, Sec. 16-9-12 am'd.
Summary: HB252 would allow county superintendents of education to have other jobs and remove the previous cap on their annual travel expenses.
What This Bill Does
The bill amends Section 16-9-12 to no longer prohibit county superintendents from engaging in additional employment and to eliminate the $600 annual travel expense cap. Local boards of education would then determine compensation and travel reimbursements for superintendents, within the updated framework. The requirement that superintendents devote their time to public school business remains in place, but the restrictions on employment and travel are removed.

Who It Affects
County superintendents of education: able to take other paid work; travel expense reimbursements may be higher or more flexible, as approved by local boards.
Local boards of education: gain authority to set or approve compensation and travel expenses for county superintendents without the previous $600 cap.

Key Provisions
Removal of the prohibition on county superintendents having additional employment.
Removal of the annual travel expense cap (previously not to exceed $600) for county superintendents.
