Clarify the duties the superintendent of public instruction and the board of public education.
This bill clarifies the relationship between Montana's Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Board of Public Education by explicitly requiring the Superintendent to execute directives issued by the Board under its constitutional authority. The legislation amends state law to define the Superintendent's specific duties, which include managing teacher certification, overseeing school budgets, approving school openings and closures, distributing state funding, and coordinating special education services. Directly affected parties are state education officials, school districts, and the Board of Public Education, with the changes intended to reduce ambiguity about the Superintendent's role in implementing Board decisions.
