SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Memorial 52 requests the Legislative Education Study Committee (LESC) to study the
issues related to House Bill 914 and House Bill 937, including their substitutes, and report their
findings and recommendations to the Legislature by January 1, 2006.
Significant Issues
According to PED, the study is proposed to address the perceived conflict of views as to whether
the local superintendent or local school board is ultimately responsible for making all final dis-
trict decisions as to hiring, terminating, discharging and disciplining school employees.
