Title

Education, local superintendent of education, time period for filling position extended, appointment of interim superintendent provided for, Secs. 16-9-11, 16-12-1 am'd.; Act 2010-210, 2010 Reg. Sess. am'd.

Description

Under existing law, notices of employee personnel vacancies are required to be posted for the appointed positions of county superintendent of education and city superintendent of education.

This bill would extend the deadline for the local board of education to fill the position of superintendent from 120 to 180 days and would provide for the appointment of an interim superintendent of education.

Amendment 621 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 111.05 of the Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended, prohibits a general law whose purpose or effect would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds from becoming effective with regard to a local governmental entity without enactment by a 2/3 vote unless: it comes within one of a number of specified exceptions; it is approved by the affected entity; or the Legislature appropriates funds, or provides a local source of revenue, to the entity for the purpose. The purpose or effect of this bill would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of the amendment. However, the bill does not require approval of a local governmental entity or enactment by a 2/3 vote to become effective because it comes within one of the specified exceptions contained in the amendment.
