SECTION
1.
Part
6 of Article 6 of Chapter 2 of Title 20 of the Official Code of Georgia
Annotated, relating to employment under the "Quality Basic Education Act," is
amended by adding a new Code section to read as follows:
"20-2-212.6.
(a)
If any local board of education furloughs teachers, paraprofessionals, cafeteria
workers, bus drivers, custodians, support staff, or other nonadministrative
positions during any school year, such local board of education shall not use
any state funds to provide a salary increase for the local school superintendent
or administrators during such school year; provided, however, that this shall
not apply to any step increases on the state salary schedule which are
applicable to a superintendent or administrator.
(b)
In the event that any local board of education intends to provide a salary
increase using local funds or private donations for the local school
superintendent or administrators during a school year in which such local board
of education furloughs teachers, paraprofessionals, cafeteria workers, bus
drivers, custodians, support staff, or other nonadministrative positions, the
local board of education shall prior to such action:
(1)
Provide 30 days notice of such intention including the rationale for raising
such salaries when other local board of education employees are furloughed;
and
(2)
Conduct a public hearing for the purpose of providing an opportunity for full
discussion and public input. The public hearing shall be advertised at least
seven days prior to the date of such hearing in a local newspaper of general
circulation which shall be the same newspaper in which other legal announcements
of the local board of education are
advertised."
SECTION
2.
All
laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
