Eliminate state board of education

Introduced in the House

Feb. 10, 2021

Introduced by Rep. Pamela Hornberger (R-32)

To place before voters in the next general election a constitutional amendment that would eliminate the current structure of an elected state board of education, which currently selects a superintendent of public instruction, who also directs the state Department of Education. Instead, the governor would appoint the director of the department, as with other state departments.

Referred to the Committee on Education
