school districts; superintendents; benefits; restrictions

HB 2381 amends Arizona law governing school district employment for superintendents, principals, and school psychologists. It restricts benefits like vehicle allowances for superintendents unless offered equally to all staff, prohibits mileage reimbursement for superintendents using district vehicles for personal travel, and limits vehicle use to school-related activities. The bill also sets specific timelines for contract renewals (no extension offers before 15 months prior for superintendents), requires districts to share principal evaluations with other districts for hiring, and establishes performance evaluation procedures with appeal options for school psychologists. These changes directly affect school district leadership and staff in Arizona.
