Here’s something you can’t see each day: a person running for the office while making the case to eliminate the same office. No, this is not the family (that’s probably a popular idea of California these days). I’m talking about the State Superintendent Office of Public Instrys.
The most selected position of California education, the State Superintendent back to the highest state, the honor itself in CaliFornia’s California education state. But the members of the board, taught in technical reports, taught by the governor, creating a dynamic where it may not be clear about who is actually in charge.
On top of that, by ballot initiatives and legislative actions, state superintendent responsibilities are often lowered or regularly reigned for many years. Perhaps the most important of the changes is the 1988 passage of Proposition 98, which ensures through the formula of 40% of the annual educational state spending. In 2013, office influence further reduces the formula of local control, spent funds in districts designed by local conditions and needs.
At this point, the list of goods to the State Superintendent not become higher than the things that man actually do. Transfer to school budget and program? Will never be involved in that. Developing curriculum, materials instructions and internal standards? Didn’t do that. Training and credentialing to the teacher? Nope. Build new or modernizing old schools? No more. Agree and handle charter schools? That’s not, though.
So, if there is so called Superintendent in public instructions not directly keeping these things directly, as one might naturally think, what’s left? So much, even if most of it is relatively technical: following obeying districts of state and federal programs, grants and available laws; collecting district’s spending data and student performance; ensure funds are well spent under local formula of control; and take care of the budgets of educational county offices.
This is the hungry thing, especially consideration of California, with 57 million students in 977 school districts and over 10,000 schools, scattered 58 different types of makers. Against the administrative and technical challenges presented by a strong system, there is a strong case for filling the main education of the state, which the governor, resembling other important roles in the Cabinet.
That case has further strengthened a different shortage of California in recent improvement in improving learning conditions and consequences. From 2015-25, even when California’s per-student spends increase in 30%, student is not done. A recent country of analysis was found in both math and reading, not only the student’s success remained below the level of 2019, but also the gap between the lower and lower reaches continued to expand.
If the growing fund does not make victories, what is necessary to change the Trajectory of Public Education in California? Accountability. California is just a state that chooses their primary education officers. The transfer of paper from a selected position to a designated one to go to improve the coordination and education accountability, which is always allowed to participate in education by education by concealing a selected superintendent.
The idea of eliminating state superintendent as an elective office is not new. As new today 2023, then-Assembly Member (now-Sacoment Mayor) Kevin McCarty suggests a constitutional change in the office before the ballot of the year. That effort moves between a busy legislature session and in front of the usual political pressures. The merits of such a change, however, remain valid.
In the near term, Californians ask at least once more to select a Superintendent in the state of public instruction. Anyone will win in that position – even another candidate or I – have to do work well and work to replace it with a system that is better to serve in California, its students and its future.
