Ga. Const. 1945, Art. VIII, Sec. IX, Paras. I and II (see now Ga. Const. 1983, Art. VIII, Sec. V, Paras. II and III) did not purport to disturb the comprehensive code of statutory school laws other than to make the offices of the county school superintendent and the county board of education constitutional rather than statutory offices. 1958-59 Ga. Op. Att'y Gen. 143.

No statute prohibits county board from employing county superintendent as one of teachers in schools

of the county, so long as the board, in the discharge of the board’s duties, finds that the employment of the superintendent as a teacher would not conflict with duties as the superintendent. 1945-47 Ga. Op. Att'y Gen. 150.

County school superintendent is entitled to the benefits of the Teachers’ Retirement Act (O.C.G.A. § 47-3-1 et seq.).
