History: P.A. 77-614 provided for selection of chairman by governor rather than by board itself, provided that commissioner of education serve as secretary and have power to appoint assistant secretary and that neither be considered a member,
replacing provision for appointment of secretary and assistant by board itself and added Subsec. (b); P.A. 78-218 substituted
"chairperson" for "chairman" and deleted provision concerning appointment of agent to "secure the observance of the
laws relating to the instruction of children".
