Conecuh County, office of county superintendent of education changed from elected to appointed, duties, powers, and compensation

HB 180 changes Conecuh County's selection process for its superintendent of education from an elected position to an appointed one, effective June 1, 2026. The Conecuh County Board of Education will appoint the superintendent, who must meet state qualifications and perform all duties outlined in general law, with compensation set annually by the board from county school funds. The bill repeals two older local laws (1923 and 1959) that previously governed the elected role. This change directly affects Conecuh County's public school leadership structure and governance.
