Approved April 6, 1954
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

i. That § 63-85 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted as fol-
Ows:

§ 63-85. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this article,
except those provisions relating to personnel standards and rules and reg-
ulations of the State Board, in any county which has adopted, or shall
hereafter adopt, the county executive form of organization and govern-
ment, and in any county in which the clerk of the board of supervisors
is some person other than the county clerk and in which county such clerk
of the board of supervisors acts as executive manager of the county under
appointment by such board by virtue of the provisions of § 15-237, the
county governing body shall, while such form of organization and govern-
ment remains in effect in such county, appoint the local superintendent, to
serve at the pleasure of such governing body, and fix his compensation,
and employ such other employees to serve at the pleasure of such govern-
ing body, as may be required in the administration of this title in such
county, and fix their compensation. The governing body of the county may,
however, authorize the local board to exercise all such powers or, tf such
county has a population equal to not less than two hundred thirty-five and
not more than two hundred forty-five per square mile according to the 1950
Federal census, authorize the local board to exercise such powers in so far
as they relate to the employment and compensation of such other em-
ployees, or authorize the local board to exercise such powers in so far as
they relate to the local superintendent and the local superintendent to
exercise such powers in so far as they relate to the employees required in
the administration of this title in such county.
