Bill Summary

A RESOLUTION proposing an amendment to the Constitution so as to provide that the qualifications, duties, and salary of the school superintendent shall be established by the board of education as provided by general law and to authorize the General Assembly to provide by law that local school superintendents shall be elected by voters as an alternative to being appointed by local boards of education, if approved by local referendum; to provide for the submission of this amendment for ratification or rejection; and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This resolution proposes an amendment to the state Constitution that would shift the authority for determining the qualifications, duties, and salary of school superintendents from the General Assembly to local boards of education, as guided by general law. It also introduces an alternative to the current system where superintendents are appointed by boards of education: the General Assembly could authorize local school systems, through a local referendum where voters approve, to elect their superintendents instead of appointing them. This change aims to give local control over superintendent roles and potentially allow for voter election of these key education officials.
