HF 332 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to administrators employed by school districts, including requiring administrators to provide instruction to students and modifying the responsibilities of the board of educational examiners.

HF 332 requires school administrators in Iowa to teach regularly, with specific mandates based on their role and school size. For example, high school principals must teach at least three semester-long classes every three years, while elementary principals must cover two subjects in a classroom for one semester every three years. School districts must ensure compliance and report annually to the state education department, with non-compliance potentially leading to license suspension by the Board of Educational Examiners. The bill applies to administrators like superintendents, principals, and assistant principals across all public school districts in Iowa.
