(a) If the joint resolution under section 3 of this
chapter provides that the consolidated schools shall be under the
direction of the county superintendent of schools, the resolution may
be amended by following the procedure in this section to provide that
the consolidated schools are under the direction of a superintendent
selected by the governing body of the new consolidated school
corporation. The change shall be effected by a resolution adopted by a
majority of the members of the governing body at a meeting held
within the limits of the consolidated school corporation. All the
members of the governing body shall receive or waive written notice
of the:
(1) date;
(2) time;
(3) place; and
(4) purpose;
of the meeting. The resolution and proof of service or waiver of the
notice shall be made a part of the records of the governing body. An
amendment takes effect after the adoption of a resolution at the time a
superintendent is selected by the governing body and commences the
superintendent's duties. The superintendent shall serve under a contract
in the same manner and under the same rules governing the
employment and service of other licensed personnel. The
superintendent's original contract and succeeding contracts must
comply with IC 20-28-8-6.
(b) The joint resolution of a consolidated school corporation may
not be amended under this section unless the corporation is entitled at
the time the governing body adopts an amending resolution under:
(1) the rules established by the state board or its successor; or
(2) any appropriation or other statute;
to an additional unit or administrative unit of state support if the
governing body employs a licensed superintendent devoting full time
to administration or supervision of schools of the corporation.
(c) In all instances of reorganization under this chapter after March
11, 1965, the consolidated school corporation shall be under the
direction of a superintendent selected by its governing body.
