HB17 is entitled Modify Certain Appts/Employment.

The bill shifts certain powers previously held by the State Board of Education to the new State Superintendent. The bill stated that the Superintendent is no longer “Subject to the direction, control, and approval of the State Board of Education,”.

HB 17 gives the Superintendent the power to, “create and administer special funds within the Department of Public Instruction to manage funds received as grants from nongovernmental sources in support of public education.”
