What’s in it
AI summary School boards would no longer automatically name the superintendent as their executive officer. Instead, the board must elect a different person to serve as the chief executive officer every year.1
Read the official explanation
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.
