SB 944 updates the rules for public school academies in Michigan that hire outside companies to manage their operations. The bill requires these management companies to share detailed financial reports and specific salary information for high-paid staff with the academy's board of directors. Additionally, the law mandates that academies post this financial and personnel data on their websites for public viewing within 30 days of receiving it. This legislation aims to increase transparency regarding how public funds are used and how management contracts are structured.
