A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the state constitution of 1963, amending sections 3 and 7 of article VIII, to eliminate the state board of education, superintendent of public instruction, and state board for public community and junior colleges.
This resolution proposes an amendment to the 1963 state constitution, specifically targeting sections 3 and 7 of article VIII. The amendment aims to abolish the state board of education, the superintendent of public instruction, and the state board for public community and junior colleges. Instead, it suggests the governor should appoint a director for the state department of education, who would serve as the principal executive officer with powers and duties as provided by law. Additionally, it mandates that public community and junior colleges be supervised and controlled by locally elected boards. The proposed amendment is set to be submitted to the people of Michigan for a vote at the next general election.
