* Most Georgia school systems use an elected superintendent. This means the superintendent is chosen directly by the voters within that school district. The election is typically held concurrently with other local elections.
* Some larger school systems, however, may have an appointed superintendent. In these cases, the superintendent is selected by the local school board, which is itself an elected body. The board will advertise the position, receive applications, interview candidates, and ultimately make the appointment.
Therefore, there's no single answer to how *every* school superintendent is chosen in Georgia. The process is determined at the local level, either through direct election or appointment by the elected school board.
