‘
Sec. 1.  20-A MRSA §1051, sub-§7  is enacted to read:
 
7.  Residence.    Notwithstanding any local ordinance or charter to the contrary, a school board may elect a superintendent without regard to whether the superintendent resides in a municipality that is included within the school administrative unit.’
