educator salary increases; school reporting

Summary

The measure adds a new law requiring districts with 7,500+ students or in counties of 500,000+ residents to spend at least 60% of their operational budget on direct instructional expenses. Starting in FY 2027‑28, districts below that threshold must raise the share by at least 0.5% each year, and repeated non‑compliance can trigger reductions in their Classroom Site Fund allocations. The superintendent may grant limited waivers, and the auditor general will define the spending categories.
