Tennessee HB1849 modifies the state code to permit counties and municipalities to establish the office of elected superintendent of schools through a majority vote of their legislative bodies. This change removes the previous requirement for a director of schools and instead allows for the election of a superintendent in the August general election, serving a four-year term. The bill also outlines qualifications for the superintendent, including a master's degree and at least five years of teaching and administrative experience.
