Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters proposes making a drastic change to how public school districts select superintendents. He wants local elections to be held.

Walters’ proposal has received some initial criticism from both Republicans and Democrats in the Legislature, while others want to know more before commenting on Walters’ plan.
