State Superintendent job description.
In April BESE conducted a survey to guage public opion. You can see the results here.
BESE will likely select the next State Superintendent at their next meeting. Because of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, the meeting date has yet to be determined, but most BESE members want to fill the position sooner rather than later. It's vital that we use this time to make our voice heard before BESE makes their final decision.
BESE conducted a public survey from April 14 through April 24th regarding their search for the next Superintendent. Unfortunately, many educators felt that the survey didn’t get at the core issues surrounding the search to replace John White. While the BESE survey has closed, the deliberations continue and we encourage you to continue to reach out to your local BESE representative to make your opinions known.

BESE released a survey earlier this month to guage public feedback, but that survey closed April 24th. We hope that BESE will open up further opportunities for teachers and school employees to weigh in, but in the meantime, you can reach out to your BESE representative to make your voice heard.
