The bill amends Section 16-2-9 of the General Laws concerning the powers and duties of school committees in Rhode Island. A significant change is the extension of the maximum term of employment for a superintendent from three years to five years. This amendment aims to provide school committees with greater flexibility in hiring and retaining superintendents, potentially leading to more stable leadership within school districts.

The act will take effect upon passage.
