What’s in it

This bill modifies provisions related to the executive officers of the boards of directors of school districts. Current law provides that the superintendent of a school district is the executive officer of the board of directors of the school district. The bill strikes this provision. The bill requires the board of directors of a school district to annually elect a chief executive officer of the board who shall not be the superintendent.
