HB 4585 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Education: school districts; salary cap for school administrators and certain other school employees; require. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1246a.

HB 4585 sets a salary cap for school administrators in Michigan, directly affecting superintendents, principals, and other school leaders in public school districts and intermediate school districts. The bill prohibits districts from paying these administrators more than four times the starting teacher salary or three times the average teacher salary in the district, whichever amount is greater. Existing contracts that exceed this cap will be exempt until the contract expires, providing a transition period for current employees. The legislation aims to align administrator pay more closely with typical teacher compensation structures within each school district.
