Illinois HB4299 mandates transparency and efficiency in school district spending, setting caps and requiring public disclosure of certain contracts.

HB4299, the School Spending Efficiency and Relief Act, aims to control administrative spending in Illinois school districts. Starting from the 2027-2028 school year, the bill mandates that any new contract for a superintendent or assistant superintendent position must be publicly available for 30 days before approval. It also requires any proposal to increase expenditures on outside consultants or any consultant contract over $25,000 to be similarly disclosed.
