Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction election history

[TX Conservative Dem]

When did Indiana change the election of the IN Superintendent of Public Instruction from non-presidential election years (Secy of State, State Treasurer and State Auditor are elected in non-presidential years) to coincide presidential elections and the gubernatorial elections ?

My understanding was that it was a two-year position until the modern era, when it became a four-year term.

Nutmeg, so I assume it was 1972 when it was moved to a four-year term ?

There was a constitutional amendment in 1972 that allowed governors to serve consecutive terms. I can look for more information, but I would suspect that this change to terms/term limits occurred at the same time.

From the state constitution:
Article 8,   
  Section 8. State superintendent of public instruction
 
   Section 8. There shall be a State Superintendent of Public
   Instruction, whose method of selection, tenure, duties and
   compensation shall be prescribed by law.
   
    (History: As Amended November 7, 1972. The schedule adopted under the 1972
    amendment to Article 8, Section 8. was stricken out by the November 6,
    1984, amendment).

But I don't see anything here about terms...
