Summary

The measure lets county boards hire assistant superintendents for terms of one to four years, limits the number of assistants based on teacher count, and requires them to serve as substitute teachers three days each school year. It also broadens what counts as an excused student absence—adding things like participation in approved student organizations, college visits, and certain family illnesses—while setting overall limits on excused days. The changes affect county education officials, teachers, students and their families by giving boards more staffing flexibility and clarifying attendance policies.
