EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill relates to the reporting requirements of the department of education’s commission on educator leadership and compensation.
   Current law requires the department of education to establish a commission on educator leadership and compensation, which is tasked with, among other things, monitoring the implementation of the frameworks and comparable systems by school districts pursuant to Code section 284.15 (Iowa teacher career paths, leadership roles, and compensation framework), Code section 284.16 (instructional coach model), and Code section 284.17 (comparable system criteria). Under current law, the commission is required to submit an annual report to the director of the department of education, the governor, and the general assembly containing the commission’s findings and any recommendations, including recommendations for changes to the framework established in Code section 284.15, and the comparable systems set forth in Code sections 284.16 and 284.17, and for changes to Code section 284.11 (state supplemental assistance for high-need schools). The bill strikes this reporting requirement.
