Michigan proposes a constitutional amendment to change the appointment process for the superintendent of public instruction.

Michigan's proposed constitutional amendment changes the appointment process for the superintendent of public instruction. Currently, the state board of education appoints the superintendent. The amendment would require the governor to appoint the superintendent, subject to the advice and consent of the senate, starting from January 1, 2027. The superintendent's term would be limited to four years, determined by the governor. The governor would also become an ex-officio member of the state board of education without voting rights.
