places mandates on local school boards on how to go about hiring
superintendents.
The bill also mandates requirements for the state school board
when hiring a chancellor for the two-year college system or a
superintendent for K-12 schools.
Riley said Friday he feels the bill was aimed at the state

chancellor, former Republican state Sen. Bradley Byrne. One of
Byrne's first actions as chancellor was to get the board to adopt a
