SB 1486 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a limitation on the salary of superintendents and chief executive officers of school districts and open-enrollment charter schools.

SB 1486 limits superintendent and chief executive officer salaries in Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to no more than twice the highest annual salary paid to a classroom teacher in that district or school. The bill requires school districts to adhere to this cap for new employment contracts starting September 1, 2025, and mandates charter schools to publicly post their superintendent's salary online. It directly affects school leadership compensation structures across Texas public education. The law applies only to contracts entered into on or after the effective date, leaving existing agreements unaffected.
