Allows Governor to remove executive county superintendent of schools at will.
This bill (A4423) changes the appointment of New Jersey's executive county superintendents of schools to be "at will," meaning the Governor can remove them at any time without cause during their three-year term. It directly affects county superintendents, who previously had a fixed term subject to performance-based reappointment. The key provision removes language requiring removal "pursuant to law," making termination solely at the Governor's discretion. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
