20-2-31. Qualifications.

To render a person eligible to hold the office of State School Superintendent, he or she shall hold a four-year degree from an accredited college or university.

(Ga. L. 1919, p. 288, § 55; Code 1933, § 32-502; Ga. L. 1963, p. 510, § 1; Ga. L. 1987, p. 3, § 20; Ga. L. 1997, p. 690, § 1.)

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Qualifications to be read broadly.

- Assuming O.C.G.A. § 20-2-31 is enforceable, the qualifications for the office of State School Superintendent contained in that section should be read broadly so that the requirement of three years' practical experience as a teacher could include three years' experience as a teacher in a school classroom even if the person has no teachers' certification. Whether a particular candidate meets such qualification is a factual issue to be determined on a case by case basis. 1993 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U93-7.
