    On page 4, after line 8, insert the following:

    "Sec. 3.  RCW 28A.400.010 and 1990 c 33 s 376 are each amended to read as follows:

    In all districts the board of directors shall elect a superintendent who shall have such qualification as the local school board alone shall determine.  The superintendent shall have supervision over the several departments of the schools thereof and carry out such other powers and duties as prescribed by law.  Notwithstanding the provisions of RCW 28A.400.300(1), the board may contract with such superintendent for a term not to exceed three years when deemed in the best interest of the district.  The right to renew a contract of employment with any school superintendent shall rest solely with the discretion of the school board employing such school superintendent.  If the school board offers a buyout to terminate a contract of employment before the term of the contract has run, the amount of the buyout may not exceed the value of one year of the contract but the superintendent shall remain eligible for the state's unemployment insurance if the superintendent meets all the eligibility requirements.  Regarding such renewal of contracts of school superintendents the provisions of RCW 28A.405.210, 28A.405.240, and 28A.645.010 shall be inapplicable."

    Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
