An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in professional employees, further providing for compensation plans for school administrators.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Public School Code to establish formal compensation plans and dispute resolution processes for school administrators, including principals and assistant principals. It requires school boards to negotiate written agreements with administrators that outline salary schedules, fringe benefits, performance evaluation methods, and protections against dismissal without just cause. The legislation also mandates a specific arbitration process for resolving grievances, where an independent arbitrator is selected through a strike procedure if the parties cannot agree on a candidate. Additionally, the bill limits unused sick leave compensation in new employment contracts for district superintendents and assistant superintendents who lack prior experience in those roles.
