# O.C.G.A. § 20-2-30. Election; office; forms, blanks, and instructions for subordinate officials; appeal of decisions to State Board of Education.

The State School Superintendent shall be elected by the persons qualified to vote for members of the General Assembly at the same time and in the same manner and for the same term as the Governor is elected. A suitable office shall be furnished him at the seat of government. He shall prescribe suitable forms for the reports required of subordinate school officers and blanks for their guidance in transacting their official business and shall from time to time prepare and transmit to them such instructions as he may deem necessary for the faithful and efficient execution of the school laws; and by what is thus communicated to them they shall be bound to govern themselves in the discharge of their official duties, provided there shall always be an appeal from the State School Superintendent to the State Board of Education.
