must include provisions that: |
|
|
(1) specify the number of days of service during which |
|
|

|
|
under the contract, including all duties and responsibilities |
|
|
connected with the instruction and supervision of students; |
|
|
(2) specify the first and last days of service of the |
|
|
contract term; and |
|
|
(3) require the district to compensate the educator at |

|
|
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
|
|
Act takes effect September 1, 2023. |
