INTRODUCED BY   Senator Alquist

                        FEBRUARY 25, 2009

   An act to add Section 35031.3 to the Education Code, relating to
school districts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 307, as introduced, Alquist. School districts: compensation of
district superintendents.
   Existing law establishes the system of public elementary and

and officers, including a district superintendent. Existing law
authorizes the governing board of a school district to elect a
district superintendent, among other officers, for a term of no more
than 4 years.
   This bill would, commencing January 1, 2010, require the governing
board of a school district to include the following provisions in
any contract for the services of a district superintendent: the
district shall not provide any compensation to the superintendent
after the expiration of the term of the contract; the district shall
not provide any type of severance compensation to a superintendent
who resigns before the expiration of the term of the contract; and
the district shall conduct a review of the performance of the
superintendent at the close of each year of the term of the contract.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
