A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PERSONS ELIGIBLE TO BE PAID AS A SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS ON A TEMPORARY BASIS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 115C-275 reads as rewritten:
"§ 115C-275. Vacancies in office of superintendent.
In case of vacancy by death, resignation, or otherwise, in the office of a superintendent, such vacancy shall be filled by the local board of education in which such vacancy occurred. If the vacancy is filled on a temporary basis, subject to the same approvals and to the same educational qualifications as provided for superintendents; provided, however, that any person who holds a principal's certificate or a supervisor's certificate may be employed as an interim superintendent for a period of nine months or less and, if so employed, shall be paid from superintendent salary funds at the bottom step of the superintendent's salary schedule or one step higher than the person would be paid if employed as a principal or supervisor. During the time any superintendent is on an approved leave of absence, without pay, an acting superintendent may be appointed in the same manner to serve during the interim period, which appointment shall be subject to the same approvals and to the same educational qualifications as provided for superintendents. In case such position is not filled immediately on a permanent or temporary basis, or in case of absence of a superintendent on account of illness or other approved reason, the board of education, by resolution duly adopted and recorded in the minutes of such board, may assign to an employee of such school board, with the approval of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, any duty or duties of such superintendent which necessity requires be performed during such time: Provided, that if the duty of signing warrants and checks is so assigned, said board shall give proper notice immediately to State and local disbursing officials."
Sec. 2. This act is effective upon ratification.
