HB 1903 - Current law permits two or more school districts to share a superintendent. Under this act, beginning July 1, 2021, subject to appropriation, a school district that enters into an agreement with another school district to share a superintendent shall receive an additional $30,000 from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Such amount shall be in addition to, and shall not be included in, any calculation of state aid. In order to receive the additional $30,000, the school district shall provide proof to the Department that the school district will use all of the additional funds and at least half of the amount saved as a result of participating in sharing a superintendent to compensate teachers or provide counseling services. No school district that receives additional funding under this act shall receive such funding for more than five years. This act is identical to HCS/SS/SCS/SB 528 (2020) and SCS/HCS/HB 1540 (2020), and is similar to HB 2717 (2020). JOSIE BUTLER
