The head of the Department of Education is the State Board of
Education.

In accordance with Chapter 506 of the Acts of 1916, the members
of the State Board of Education are appointed by the Governor. One
member is appointed annually for a term of seven years from the first
Monday in May next succeeding the appointment.

The State Board of Education selects a State Superintendent of
Schools, and through him and his assistants, has general control of
the Public School System of the State. The Board is a legislative
body, and, as such, enacts by-laws and prescribes rules and regulations
for carrying into effect the provisions of the school laws. These by-
laws and rules include regulations for the construction of school build-
ings, for grading and standardizing all public schools, for the certifi-
cation of public school teachers, for taking the bi-ennial school cen-
sus, and for a uniform series of forms and blanks for the use of
county superintendents, school officials and teachers.

The State Superintendent of Schools is the executive officer of the
Board. The members of the State Board of Education and the State
Superintendent of Schools are ex-officio trustees of the State Teachers
Colleges.
