Schools; prohibiting district superintendent compensation from exceeding certain amount in relation to teacher salaries; effective date; emergency.

HB 3486 caps school district superintendent total compensation at six times the salary of a teacher with a bachelor's degree and zero years of experience. It directly affects all Oklahoma public school districts by restricting superintendent pay packages (including base salary, bonuses, and benefits) to this ratio for new or renewed contracts after July 1, 2026. The bill requires districts to file superintendent contracts with the state, disclose administrator salary schedules publicly, and ensures contracts cannot exceed the specified ratio. It aims to align administrative pay more closely with entry-level teacher compensation without changing teacher salaries directly. The law takes effect immediately upon approval as an emergency measure.
