SF 2152 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act modifying provisions related to the executive officers of the boards of directors of school districts.

This bill changes how school district boards appoint their top leader. It requires school boards to annually elect a separate "chief executive officer" who cannot be the superintendent, replacing the current rule that automatically made the superintendent this role. The change directly affects school boards and superintendents by creating a new annual election process for the chief executive position. Key provisions include removing the superintendent's automatic status as executive officer and mandating boards establish this new role through their rules.
