Introduced Text

Kansas SB142 allows school districts to include a teacher representative as a nonvoting member of their board of education.

Kansas SB142 amends state statutes to allow each school district's board of education to include a teacher representative as a nonvoting member. This teacher representative, elected by the district's teachers, serves a two-year term and can be reelected once. The representative may receive compensation from the school district for their teaching duties and any additional work as a board member but cannot participate in teacher contract negotiations. The board of education may appoint other officers and employees as needed.
