Requires Commissioner of Education approval for publicly funded out-of-State travel by school district employees and board of education members of certain school districts.

This bill requires the Commissioner of Education's prior written approval for publicly funded out-of-State travel by school district employees and board members in districts receiving 70% or more of their revenue from state aid. It directly affects employees and board members in these specific school districts, which are identified using the Department of Education's Taxpayers’ Guide. The key mechanism mandates that superintendents obtain commissioner approval before seeking board approval for employee travel, and boards must get commissioner approval before voting on board member travel. This creates an additional administrative step to review such trips before they are authorized.
