Authorizing staffing recommendations and limits by Department of Education

Summary

The bill adds a new code section that obligates each county board of education to submit a detailed staffing plan each year and requires the state Department of Education to issue staffing recommendations and a maximum funded allowance. Counties may only hire beyond those limits after a formal objection and waiver process, and the Department can enforce compliance with corrective actions and penalties. The goal is to ensure taxpayer‑funded school staff levels match enrollment and state funding formulas.
