Public Act 096-0434 requires that the salary compensation report be presented at a regular school board meeting. When must this meeting be held?
We advise that the meeting be held no later than October of the school year for which the report is made. Despite an October 1 deadline for posting the itemized salary compensation report on the school district’s Web site, the statute does not specify a deadline for the presentation of the report to the school board. According to the plain language of the statute, a school district could present the report to the board at any time. However, because the statute and legislative history are so concerned with transparency to the public, we advise that the report be presented no later than the end of October. A school district also has the discretion to present the report before it is due to be posted on the Web site.
