Section 16-9-31

Report on schools to state superintendent; examination of books, accounts, etc., by state superintendent.

The county superintendent of education shall, on or before the first day of November of each year, forward to the State Superintendent of Education on blanks to be furnished him by the latter an annual report of the public schools of his county for the preceding year. In the event any county superintendent shall fail to make and forward to the State Superintendent of Education any report required under this chapter within 10 days after the time it should be made, he shall be liable to impeachment, and the resolution of the State Board of Education duly adopted setting forth such failure shall be prima facie evidence of such fact. The books, accounts and vouchers of the county superintendent of education may be examined at any time by the State Superintendent of Education in person or by his duly authorized agent.
