The register must show the name, address, license number, and the renewal of the license. The board must on July 1 of each year, or as soon thereafter as is practicable, compile a list of licensed school administrators and transmit a copy of the list to the board. A copy of the register must be available during business hours at the office of the board to any interested person.

§ Subd. 7. Commissioner's assistance; board money. The commissioner shall provide all necessary materials and assistance for transacting board business and all money received by the board shall be paid into the state treasury as provided by law. The expenses of administering the Board of School Administrators shall be paid for from appropriations made to the Board of School Administrators.

§ Subd. 8. Accountability. The board must develop accountability measures for programs preparing students for licensure and report the progress of the programs to the legislature by January 15 of every other year beginning with the 2003 legislature.

§ Subd. 9. Fee. Each person licensed by the Board of School Administrators shall pay the board a fee of $100, collected each fiscal year. When transmitting notice of the license fee, the board also must notify the licensee of the penalty for failing to pay the fee within the time specified by the board. The board may provide a lower fee for persons on retired or inactive status. After receiving notice from the board, any licensed school administrator who does not pay the fee in the given fiscal year shall have all administrative licenses held by the person automatically suspended, without the right to a hearing, until the fee has been paid to the board. If the board suspends a licensed school administrator for failing to pay the fee, it must immediately notify the district currently employing the school administrator of the school administrator's suspension. The executive secretary shall deposit the fees in the general fund.

§ Subd. 10. Principal preparation program reporting. By December 31, 2018, and annually thereafter, the Board of School Administrators shall report and publish on its website the cumulative summary results of three years of data reported to the board under section 122A.091, subdivision 1 , for each principal preparation program.
