Summary

The California Constitution requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to be nonpartisan, elected by the voters at each gubernatorial election, exempt from civil service, and limited to 2 terms. The Constitution prescribes the start day of the Superintendent's first term and how to fill a vacancy in the office of the Superintendent. This measure would prohibit an election for Superintendent from being held in 2026. The measure would, commencing January 1, 2027, require the Superintendent to instead be appointed by, and serve at the pleasure of, the Governor, with confirmation by the Assembly, the Senate, and the Senate Committee on Rules. The measure would make inapplicable to the Superintendent the above-mentioned nonpartisan, term limit, start day, and vacancy provisions.
