Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 530, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Provide incentives to keep exemplary principals and vice-principals at the school level;
(2) Encourage exemplary principals and vice-principals to accept long-term assignments to hard-to-staff schools, special needs schools, and schools with high teacher turnover; and
(3) Encourage exemplary teachers to become vice-principals.
Your Committee has amended the measure by:
(1) Eliminating the requirement that vice-principals have at least three years of teaching experience. Instead vice-principals shall meet the department's certification requirements and shall have appropriate school-level experience as determined by the department; and
(2) Deleting all specific appropriations and instead appropriating $200,000 for each fiscal year of the biennium for the purposes of the bill.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 530, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 530, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.
