An act relating to the appointment of members of the State Board of Education and the Secretary of Education

This bill changes how Vermont's State Board of Education members and the Secretary of Education are appointed. It establishes a new system where the Governor appoints four members (including student members), the Senate Committee on Committees appoints three, and the House Speaker appoints three, with all appointments requiring Senate approval. The bill also prohibits governors from reappointing someone without Senate consent and mandates a national search for a new Secretary of Education within 45 days of a resignation. These changes affect the composition and leadership of Vermont's education governance structure.
