AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Rhode Island General Laws Section 16-2-9, which outlines the powers and duties of school committees, by extending the maximum term of employment for a superintendent of schools from three years to five years. The superintendent is the chief executive officer of a school district, responsible for its day-to-day operations and implementation of policies. This change, which will take effect immediately upon passage, allows school committees to offer longer employment contracts to their superintendents.
