Acts 391 and 1542 of 1999 established new filing dates of personnel policies and certified and classified salary schedules to the Department of Education (Department). As of the 99/00 school year, all school districts must file their personnel policies and certified and classified salary schedules with the Department no later than September 15. If new or revised policies and schedules are implemented during the school year, those policies and schedules should be forwarded to the Department when they become effective.
The new filing date for personnel policies and salary schedules coordinates the submission of this information to the Department with the due date of the Annual Financial Report and Budget. The new filing date also enables local school boards to approve new or revised policies and schedules for implementation at the beginning of the school year.
If there are any questions regarding the new requirement, please contact Financial Accountability of Public School Finance and Administrative Support.
