Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to the salary cap for district superintendents
Purpose
This bill would amend the salary cap for district superintendents.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 - Amends subparagraph 2 of paragraph (a) of subdivision 4 of section 1950 of the education law, as amended by chapter 698 of the laws of 2003 to adjust the current superintendent salary cap based upon the current salary paid to the commissioner.
Section 2 - Effective date
Justification
When passed in 1993 existing law capped the salary of BOCES Superintendents at 98% of the State Education Department Commissioner's salary in the year 1994 which was later adjusted to the Commissioner's salary in 2004 which is equivalent to $166,762. As a result some BOCES superintendents make much less than colleagues in their region, and therefore, BOCES districts have begun to experience difficulty recruiting and retaining professional educators with the experience necessary to be a successful BOCES leader.
