school districts; employment contracts; publication

HB 2075 requires Arizona school districts to publicly share employment contracts for top administrators (superintendents, assistant superintendents, associate superintendents, and chief financial officers). School districts must submit these contracts or an attestation of no hiring to the state education department annually, and both the state and districts must post the contracts on their websites for at least five years after employment ends (redacting personal information as required by law). The state must also compile an annual report by December 1st detailing base salaries, employee benefits, and car allowances for these positions for all districts. This bill directly affects all Arizona public school districts by increasing transparency around high-level administrator compensation.
