school district superintendents; secondary employment

HB 2382 requires Arizona school district governing boards to approve any secondary employment by a superintendent in a public meeting before it can begin. This law directly affects school superintendents, who must now seek and obtain board approval for outside jobs. If a superintendent engages in secondary employment without prior approval, they face a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per month, which they must pay personally. The bill also authorizes county school superintendents to report violations to the attorney general for investigation and enforcement.
