School district business administrators, the officials who manage district funds, prepare budgets, and oversee accounting, currently serve fixed two-year terms under Utah law. Under this bill, they would instead serve either under an employment contract or as at-will employees who serve at the will of the local school board, and they would report directly to the district superintendent, with their day-to-day duties carried out under the superintendent's direction rather than reporting independently to the school board. The bill also removes the current ban on school boards giving business administrators contracts with automatic renewal clauses. Additionally, the bill formally establishes that the state-level Deputy Superintendent of Operations reports directly to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
