The State School Superintendent shall carry out and enforce all the rules and regulations of the State Board of Education and the laws governing the schools receiving state aid; he shall from time to time make such recommendations to the state board as may affect the welfare and efficiency of the public schools. He shall have authority to suspend a county school superintendent for incompetency, willful neglect of duty, misconduct, immorality, or the commission of any crime involving moral turpitude, provided that all of his acts in this matter shall be subject to the approval of the state board and the party so suspended may appeal his case to the state board, whose decision shall be final.
