Modifies and establishes provisions relating to elementary and secondary education
HB 3238 requires school boards to publicly disclose financial conflicts of interest involving members, employees, and related parties for transactions over $500 annually, including business dealings with the school district. It mandates detailed written disclosures from school superintendents, administrators, and legal staff about their outside income, business ownership, and corporate ties. The bill also shifts the burden of proof to school districts in special education due process hearings under IDEA, requiring them to justify decisions about student evaluations or placements. Additionally, it prohibits school districts from hiring attorneys who employ school board members or employees for special education disputes.
