Modifies positions governing school administrators

HB 2051 modifies Missouri's laws governing school administrators by allowing multiple school districts to share a superintendent without state approval (Section 168.205). It provides $30,000 annually in additional state aid to districts sharing a superintendent, requiring them to use at least half the savings from this arrangement to compensate teachers or fund counseling services (Section 168.205(2)). The bill also mandates consolidation of administrators (superintendents, assistant superintendents, directors) in districts with fewer than 10,000 students located in counties with over 1 million residents, starting in the 2027-28 school year (Section 168.205(3)). This consolidation requires districts to share a border and proportionally share administrator salaries, applying only to districts receiving over 20% state funding.
